Gravitattion Numericals Class 9

This document contains 14 problems related to gravitation and free fall. It involves calculating distances, times, velocities, masses, weights, and accelerations given information about gravitational forces and masses of objects on Earth and other celestial bodies like the moon. The document tests understanding of concepts like gravitational acceleration, weight, mass, and how these quantities are related and change in different gravitational fields.

GRAVITATION

1. A stone drops from the edge of a roof. It passes a window 2m high in 0.1s.
How far is the roof above the top of the window?

2. A stone is dropped from the edge of a roof. (a) How long does it take to fall
4.9m ? (b) How fast does it move at the end of that fall? (c) How fast does it
move at the end of 7.9m? (d) What is its acceleration after 1s and after 2s?

3. An object is thrown vertically upwards and rises to a height of 10m. Calculate


(i) the velocity with which the object was thrown upwards and (ii) the time
taken by the object to reach the highest point.

4. A force of 2 kg wt. acts on a body of mass 4.9kg. Calculate its acceleration.

5. A force of 20N acts upon a body weight is 9.8N. What is the mass of the
body and how much is its acceleration?

6. A body has a weight of 10 kg on the surface of earth. What will be its mass
and weight when taken to the centre of earth?

7. How much would a 70 kg man weigh on moon? What will be his mass on
earth and moon? Given g on moon = 1.7 m/s2.

8. The Earth’s gravitational force causes an acceleration of 5 m/s2 in a 1 kg mass


somewhere in space. How much will the acceleration of a 3 kg mass be at the
same place?

9. A particle is thrown up vertically with a velocity of 50 m/s. What will be its


velocity at the highest point of the journey? How high would the particle rise?
What time would it take to reach the highest point? Take g = 10 m/s2.

10. Calculate the force of gravity acting on your friend of mass 60 kg. Given
mass of earth= 6×1024 kg and radius of Earth = 6.4 x 106m.

11. Mass of an object is 10kg. What is its weight on Earth?

12. What is the mass of an object whose weight is 49N?


13. An object weighs 10N when measured on the surface of the earth. What
would be its weight when measured on the surface of the Moon?

14. If a planet existed whose mass was twice that of Earth and whose radius 3
times greater, how much will a 1kg mass weigh on the planet?
