Interpreting the derivative Find the derivative of each at notion at the given point and interpret the physical meaning of this quantity. Include units in your answer.
50 The gravitational force of attraction between two masses separated by a distance of x meters is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, which implies that the force is described by the function
