NEET Physics Gravitational Potential Energy MCQ Question
What is the expression for gravitational potential energy associated with two particles separated by a distance r?
V = -G(m1m2)/r
V = G(m1m2)/r
V = mgh
V = -mg(r2 - r1)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The gravitational potential energy associated with two particles separated by a distance r is given by V = -G(m1m2)/r, where V is taken to be zero at r → ∞.
