(C) Acceleration due to gravity is 8.9 m/s ²

(D) All bodies fall at the same rate in vacuum

5. If a initially the distance between two bodies is r and their masses are M ₁ and M ₂ then the force of gravitation be F. If this distance is increased to two times then force would become:

(A) F/2

(B) F/4

(C) 2F

(A)19.6 m/s ²

(B) 9.8 m/s ²

(C) 4.9 m/s ²

(D) 2.45 m/s ²

8. The ratio of the value of g on the surface of moon to that on the earth’s surface is:

(A) 6

(B) √6

(C) 1/6

(D)1/√6

9. A particle is taken to a height R above the earth’s surface, where R is the radius of the earth.

The acceleration due to gravity there is:

(A) 2.45 m/s ²

(B) 4.9 m/s ²

(C) 9.8 m/s ²

SECTION II - SUBJECTIVE

1. State Kepler’s laws of planetary motion.

2. Explain weightlessness.

3. Differentiate between following.

(a) Mass and Weight

(b) Acceleration due to gravity ’g’ and Universal gravitational constant ‘G’

4. A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity ‘u’. Calculate the speed with which it falls to the earth again.

5. State factors affecting the value of ‘g’.

6. State the universal law of gravitation.

7. Name the scientist who gave the universal law of gravitation.

8. Two persons having mass 50 kg each are standing such that their centre of gravity are 1 m apart.

Calculate the mutual force of gravitation they exert on each other and also calculate the force of gravity due to earth on each.

(Take G = 6.67x10 ^-11 Nm ² / kg ² , mass of earth M = 6x10 ²⁴ kg, radius of earth R = 6.4x10 ⁶ m.)

Solutions: to worksheet-6 Gravitation class 9  With Solutions

Objective Problems:

Subjective Problems :

4. The body falls back to the earth with the same speed with which it was thrown vertically upwards.

8. F= 1.67x10 ^-7 N.

F’= 0.48x10 ³ N.

F’ is much greater than F so the persons will not move towards each other but each of them moves towards the earth.
