Q2PhysicsUnit 6: Gravitation
Suppose(God forbid) due to some reason, the earth expands to make its volume eight-fold. What you expect your weight to be?
Q3PhysicsUnit 6: Gravitation
The height at which the value of acceleration due to gravity becomes 50%50 \% of that at the surface of the earth. (radius of the earth =6400km=\mathbf{6 4 0 0 k m} ) is
Q4PhysicsUnit 6: Gravitation
If the mass of the body on the surface of the earth is 50kg,50 k g, its mass at the centre of the earth is:
Q5PhysicsUnit 6: Gravitation
A body is weighed at the poles and at the equator. The weight:
Q6PhysicsUnit 6: Gravitation
Assertion The value of acceleration due to gravity does not depend upon the mass of the body. Reason Acceleration due to gravity is a constant quantity.
Q7PhysicsUnit 6: Gravitation
Assertion A particle is projected upwards with speed vv and it goes to a height h.h . If we double the speed then it will move to height 4h4 h Reason In case of earth, acceleration due to gravity gg varies as g1r2rRg \propto \frac{1}{r^{2}} r \geq R
Q8PhysicsUnit 6: Gravitation
The ratio of the weight of a body to its mass gives the at the given place
