NEET Physics Universal Law of Gravitation Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The gravitational force between two point masses is attractive and acts along the line joining them. | Reason (R): The gravitational force on a point mass outside a hollow spherical shell acts as if the entire mass of the shell is concentrated at its center.
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.
