NEET Physics Universal Law of Gravitation MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the Universal Law of Gravitation is/are correct?
The gravitational force between two masses decreases with the square of the distance between them.
The gravitational force between two bodies is independent of their masses.
The gravitational force acts along the line joining the centers of the two masses.
The gravitational force is always repulsive in nature.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, the force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, making statement A correct. Statements B, C, and D are incorrect as they contradict the principles of gravitation.
