Two particles of masses \(M,m\) are separated by a distance \(r.\) Their relative acceleration due to their mutual gravitational forces is (of magnitude):
1. \(\Large\frac{2GMm}{r^2(M+m)}\)             2. \(\Large\frac{GMm}{r^2(M+m)}\)            
3. \(\Large\frac{G(M\text - m)}{r^2}\) 4. \(\Large\frac{G(M\text + m)}{r^2}\)

If a particle is projected vertically upward with a speed \(u,\) and rises to a maximum altitude \(h\) above the earth's surface then:
(\(g=\) acceleration due to gravity at the surface)

1. \(h>\dfrac{u^2}{2g}\)
2. \(h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}\)
3. \(h<\dfrac{u^2}{2g}\)
4. Any of the above may be true, depending on the earth's radius
