Choose the correct statements from the following

A

The gravitational forces between two particles are an action and reaction pair.

B

Gravitational constant (`G`) is scalar but acceleration due to gravity (`g`) is a vector.

C

The values of `G` and `g` are to be determined experimentally.

D

`G` and `g` are constant everywhere.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C

Choice a,b and c are correct. When the particle exerts a force on another particle, the second particle exerts an equal and opposite force on the first particle. Choice d is incorrect because although `G` is contant everwhere, the value of `g` varies with height and depth and also from place to place.
