NEET Physics Universal Law of Gravitation MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the Universal Law of Gravitation is correct?
The gravitational force between two masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The gravitational force does not depend on the distance between the two masses.
The gravitational force acts independently of other masses in the vicinity.
The gravitational force is always repulsive in nature.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force of attraction between two masses is indeed proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, as stated in the first summary point.
