Gravitation NEET Questions

Gravitation is one of the fundamental forces of attraction that exists between objects. The term gravity is used for gravitation, but gravitation is defined as the theory that explains the attraction while gravity is defined as the force that pulls objects towards each other. Newton is the unit of gravitation force.

The gravitational force between the two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres.
