NEET Physics Universal Law of Gravitation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 11

Consider a diagram showing two particles of masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance r. Which of the following correctly represents the expression for the gravitational force of attraction between them?

Question diagram
A

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2

B

F = G * (m1 + m2) / r^2

C

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r

D

F = G * (m1 * m2) * r^2

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force between two masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance r is given by F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where G is the universal gravitational constant.
