NEET Physics Universal Law of Gravitation MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing two masses, m1 and m2, separated by a distance r with arrows representing the forces between them. Which of the following correctly represents the magnitude of the gravitational force between these two masses?

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2
F = G * (m1 + m2) / r
F = G * (m1 * m2) * r
F = G * (m1 - m2) / r^2
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force between two masses is given by F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where G is the universal gravitational constant.
