NEET Physics Universal Law of Gravitation Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Gravitational force between two masses | (i) Proportional to the inverse square of distance |
| (b) Force direction | (ii) Always attractive |
| (c) Effect of hollow spherical shell | (iii) Acts as if mass is concentrated at the center |
| (d) Gravitational constant | (iv) Affects all masses equally |
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The gravitational force between two masses is indeed proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force is always attractive, and for a hollow spherical shell, it acts as if the mass is concentrated at the center, as stated in the NCERT context.
