HOTS FROM GRAVITATION

Answer all the questions

1.
a. Earth attracts apple from the tree and it falls on it but the earth does not move towards the apple. Why?
b. A ball is projected vertically upwards with an initial velocity of u goes to a maximum height h before coming
to ground. What is the value of h?
c. Is value of ‘g’ same everywhere?
d. Find relationship between ‘g’ and ‘G’
e. During a free-fall what is the weight of a body. Give reason for the answer.
f. A stone and feather are thrown from a tower, both the objects should reach the ground at same time but it
does not. Why?
g. What is the value of ‘G’, universal gravitational constant?
h. Find the value of ‘g’, acceleration due to gravity.
i. A planet has mass one sixth of mass of earth and radius half of the radius of earth. Calculate the acc. due to
gravity in that planet?
j. Two masses of 20 kg and 25 kg are kept 10 m apart. Find the force of attraction produced between them?
k. Two masses of 100 kg and 50 kg are kept at a distance 10 m from each other. Find the point at which no
force will be realized if any mass is kept?
l. Two equal masses are kept at d distance apart and a mass of 2 kg is placed at the middle point of the line
connecting the two masses. What force will be realized by the 2 kg mass?
m. A mass of 1 kg is taken from the surface of earth to a height of 2000 km from surface of earth. What will be
the value of g at that height? Given radius of earth=6400 km.
n. What will be the value of g at a depth of 2000 km from surface of earth? Radius of earth=6400 km.
o. Two persons having mass 50kg each, are standing such that the centre of gravity are 1m apart. Calculate
the force of gravitation and also calculate the force of gravity on each.
p. Two bodies A and B having mass m and 2m respectively are kept at a distance d apart. Where should a
small particle be placed so that the net gravitational force on it due to the bodies A and B is zero ?
q. When a space ship is at a distance of two earths radius from the centre of the earth,what will be the
gravitational acceleration?
r. If planet existed whose mass and radius were both half of the earth, what will be the acceleration due to
gravity at the surface of that planet?
s. A stone is dropped from the top a tower. Its velocity after it has fallen 20 m is [Take g = 10 ms-2]
t. State kepler’s laws of planetary motion?
