NEET Physics Universal Law of Gravitation Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Gravitational force of attraction (i) Inverse square of distance (b) Universal gravitational constant (ii) 6.672 × 10 –11 N m 2 kg –2 (c) Force due to hollow shell (iii) Concentrated at the center (d) Resultant force using superposition (iv) Vector addition of individual forces
Choose the correct matching:
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 of attraction between two masses is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, as per Newton's law of universal gravitation. The universal gravitational constant is defined as 6.672 × 10 –11 N m 2 kg –2, and the force due to a hollow shell can be treated as if concentrated at its center. The resultant force is calculated using vector addition based on the principle of superposition.
