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 → ∞.
