NEET Physics Universal Law of Gravitation Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The gravitational force between two point masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses.
Reason (R): The gravitational force between two masses depends on the square of the distance between them.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both the assertion and the reason are true. The assertion correctly states the universal law of gravitation's dependency on the product of masses, and the reason correctly states the dependency on the square of the distance. However, the reason does not explain the assertion.
