Physics-Gravitational Potential Energy

NEET Physics Gravitational Potential Energy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Medium-Class 11

What is the expression for the gravitational potential energy associated with two particles separated by a distance r?

A

V = -G(m1m2/r)

B

V = G(m1m2/r)

C

V = mgh

D

V = (m1m2)/r

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The gravitational potential energy between two particles is given by the formula V = -G(m1m2/r), where V is taken to be zero at r → ∞.
