    GRAVITATION PRACTICE

    1. The gravitational force between the two objects is F. If masses of both the objects are
    doubled and distance between them is halved, then gravitational force would become
    (a) F (b) 4F. (c) 8F. (d) 16 F
    2. Two particles each of mass m move in a circle of radius r under the action of their mutual
    gravitational attraction. The speed of each particle is : (use G as a universal gravitational
    constant)
    (a) /Gm/r (b) . /Gm/2r (c) /Gm/4r (d) 2 /Gm/r
    3. Assertion : Gravitational force between two masses is independent of the medium
    separating them.
    Reason : Gravitational force between two masses is always attractive in nature.
    4. Assertion : The gravitational force on a particle inside a hollow isolated sphere is more than
    that outside the hollow sphere.
    Reason : The gravitational force on a particle at the centre of hollow sphere is infinity.
    5. How much below the surface of earth does the acceleration due to gravity becomes 70% of
    its value on the surface of earth ? Radius of earth = 6400 km
    (a) 1920 km (b) 960 km (c) 2880 km (d) 1440 km
    6. Assertion : A body falls through a height h in a certain time, on the earth. If the same body is
    released on another planet having mass and radius twice as that of the earth, the distance
    through which it falls in the same time is h/2.
    Reason : g = GM/R, where the various terms have usual meanings.
    7. Assertion : If we go from equator to pole of earth, the weight of the body remains the same.
    Reason : The value of acceleration due to gravity is same on equator and pole of the earth.
    8. Determine the escape speed of Moon. Given, the radius of Moon is 1•74 x 10⁶ m, its mass is
    7.36 x 10²² kg. Does your answer throw light on why the Moon has no atmosphere ?
    9. An artificial satellite of mass 100 kg is in a circular orbit at 500 km above the Earth's surface.
    Take radius of Earth as 6.5 x 10⁶ m. (a) Find the acceleration due to gravity at any point along
    the satellite path (b) What is the centripetal acceleration of the satellite ?
    10. Jupiter has a mass 320 times that of the earth and its radius is 11.2 times that of the earthe
    Determine the escape velocity from the surface of Jupiter, given that the escape velocity from
    the surface of earth is 11•2 km/ s
    11. The radius of the earth is 6400 km and that of mars is 3200 km. The mass of the earth is
    about 10 times the mass of mars. An object weighs 100 N on the surface of earth. What will be
    its weight on the surface of mars ?.
    12.. Two bodies of masses 100 kg and 1000 kg are at a distance 1•00 m apart. Calculate the
    potential at the middle point of the line joining them. G = 6.67 x 10-¹¹ N m²/ kg²
    13 Why does a tennis ball bounce higher on hills than on plains?
    14.A satellite revolving around Earth loses height. How will its time period be changed ?
