NEET Physics Universal Law of Gravitation MCQ Question
Imagine a diagram showing two masses, M1 and M2, separated by a distance R. According to the Universal Law of Gravitation, how is the gravitational force between them represented?

Directly proportional to M1 * M2 and inversely proportional to R^2
Directly proportional to R^2 and inversely proportional to M1 * M2
Directly proportional to M1 * M2 and directly proportional to R^2
Inversely proportional to M1 * M2 and inversely proportional to R
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The Universal Law of Gravitation states that every two bodies attract each other with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
