Important Questions from Gravitation
According to Newton's universal law of gravitation, gravitational force is:
Show answer
Directly proportional to the product of masses, Inversely proportional to the square of distance
Newton's law states F = Gm₁m₂/d². Force increases with mass product and decreases with square of distance between objects.
Which factors affect the value of 'g' on Earth?
Show answer
Height above sea level, Latitude (distance from equator), Depth below surface
The value of g varies with height (decreases), latitude (minimum at equator), and depth (decreases inside Earth). Time and season don't affect g significantly.
The escape velocity from Earth's surface is approximately:
Show answer
11.2 km/s
Escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape Earth's gravitational pull completely. It equals √(2GM/R) = 11.2 km/s.
Mass and weight are the same physical quantity.
Show answer
False
Mass is the amount of matter in an object (scalar, constant everywhere). Weight is the gravitational force on an object (vector, varies with location).
