Q1: Two spherical stars A and B have densities ρA and ρB, respectively. A and B have the same radius, and their masses MA and MB are related by MB = 2MA. Due to an interaction process, star A loses some of its mass, so that its radius is halved, while its spherical shape is retained, and its density remains ρA. The entire mass lost by A is deposited as a thick spherical shell on B with the density of the shell being ρA. If vA and vB are the escape velocities from A and B after the interaction process, the ratio JEE Advanced Previous Year Questions (2018 - 2023): Gravitation | Physics for JEE Main & Advanced.

FAQs on JEE Advanced Previous Year Questions (2018 - 2023): Gravitation - Physics for JEE Main & Advanced

1. What is the law of gravitation?
Ans. The law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
2. How does the force of gravity vary with distance?
Ans. The force of gravity follows an inverse square law with distance. This means that as the distance between two objects increases, the force of gravity decreases. Specifically, the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
3. What is the difference between mass and weight?
Ans. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is constant regardless of the location. Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object and depends on the gravitational field strength. Weight can vary depending on the location, but mass remains the same.
4. How does the value of 'g' vary on different planets?
Ans. The value of 'g', which represents the acceleration due to gravity, varies on different planets. It depends on the mass and radius of the planet. Generally, planets with larger masses and smaller radii will have a higher value of 'g', resulting in a stronger gravitational pull.
5. How does the gravitational force between two objects change if their masses are doubled?
Ans. If the masses of two objects are doubled, the gravitational force between them will also double. This is because the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses. Therefore, increasing the masses by a factor of two will result in a corresponding increase in the gravitational force.
