Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why then, a heavy object does not fall faster than a light object?
A stone is released from the top of a tower of height 19.6 m. Calculate its final velocity just before touching the ground.
A ball thrown up vertically returns to the thrower after 6 s. Find
- the velocity with which it was thrown up,
- the maximum height it reaches, and
- its position after 4 s.
Explain why, if a stone held in our hand is released, it falls towards the earth.
A ball falls off a table and reaches the ground in 1 s. Assuming g=10 m/s2, calculate its speed on reaching the ground and the height of the table.
Figure shows the velocity-time graph of a particle of mass 100 g moving in a straight line. Calculate the force acting on the particle.
(Hint : Acceleration = Slope of the v-t graph)
What is the acceleration due to gravity?
In vacuum, all freely falling objects have the same force. Is it true?
State whether the below statement is True or False.
Neglecting air resistance, a body falling freely near the earth's surface has a constant acceleration.
Write scientific reason.
The value of gravitational acceleration (g) decreases as we go deep inside the earth.
