NEET Physics Universal Law of Gravitation MCQ Question
What does Newton's law of universal gravitation state about the gravitational force between two masses?
It is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
It is independent of the masses and distance between them.
It is inversely proportional to the product of their masses and directly proportional to the distance between them.
It only applies to bodies at rest and not to those in motion.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every body in the universe attracts every other body with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
