Physics-Gravitational Potential Energy

NEET Physics Gravitational Potential Energy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Hard-Class 11

What is the gravitational potential energy associated with two particles separated by a distance r, given that V is taken to be zero at r → ∞?

A

V = -G(m1m2)/r

B

V = G(m1m2)/r

C

V = -G(m1m2)r

D

V = G(m1m2)r

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The gravitational potential energy associated with two particles separated by a distance r is given by the formula V = -G(m1m2)/r, where V is taken to be zero at infinity, as mentioned in the NCERT context.
