A body at rest having uniform acceleration is

Detailed Solution: Question 10

The correct option is Option C.

A body at rest having uniform acceleration is any body thrown vertically up against gravity.

When a body is thrown vertically upwards, at the highest point only velocity is zero because the acceleration due to gravitational force is acting downward continuously and that is the reason for velocity being zero at the highest point, hence velocity is zero because of the acceleration.

Two objects of different masses falling freely near the surface of moon would 

Detailed Solution: Question 13

When an object is under free fall, its acceleration depends only on the acceleration due to gravity and mass has no role to play. Due to this; irrespective of their masses, the object under free fall with have the same velocity at any instant.

 An apple falls from a tree because of gravitational attraction between the earth and apple. If F1 is the magnitude of force exerted by the earth on the apple and F2 is the magnitude of force exerted by apple on earth, then

Detailed Solution: Question 18

so we can see that f is equal to f₂ 

Important Questions (1 mark): Gravitation - Question 19
Save

The weight of an object at the centre of the earth of radius R is

Detailed Solution: Question 19

The weight of the body at the surface of the earth is equal to zero. The accelertion due to gravity is maximum on the surface of the earth and as we towards the centre of the equator it becomes zero.


The acceleration due to gravity varies due to the shape of the earth. The radius of the earth is more at the equator than at the poles.

 
Thus, the value of g at the centre of the earth is zero.

Important Questions (1 mark): Gravitation - Question 20
Save

When an object is in free fall under the influence of gravity, its weight becomes:

Detailed Solution: Question 20

An object kept in a lift which falls freely  , weighs zero on the weighing machine , but its actual  weight is still mg. This happens  because the normal reaction force Exerted on the object in the lift is equal to mg,which in turn equals the  weight of the  object.
