(b) 6400 m/ s
(c) 1600 m/ s

(a) 4 times
(b) 3 times
(c) 13/ 2 times

(a) l%
(b) 2%
(c) 1·5%
(d) 2·5%
Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the
options given below:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct
explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation
of the assertion.
C)If assertion is true but reason is false.
D)the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.
11. Assertion: Smaller the orbit of the planet around the sun, shorter is the time it
takes to complete one revolution.
Reason: According to Kepler’s third law of planetary motion, square of time
period is proportional to cube of mean distance from sun.
12. Assertion : The universal gravitational constant is same as acceleration due to
gravity.
Reason: Gravitational constant and acceleration due to gravity have same
dimensional formula.

13. Assertion: The value of acceleration due to gravity does not depend upon
mass of the body on which force is applied.
Reason : Acceleration due to gravity is a constant quantity.
14. Assertion : A planet moves faster, when it is closer to the sun in its orbit and
vice versa.
Reason : Orbital velocity in orbital of planet is constant.
VERY SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS ( BASIC LEVEL)

(b) At what height above the earth’s surface, the value of ‘g’ is the same as in a mine
80km deep?
26. What is orbital velocity of a satellite? Derive an expression to find the orbital

2 B: No
3 D: mass remain constant but weight will be changed
4 B: inversely proportional to distance
5 C: one fourth

11 both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of
the assertion.
12 the assertion and reason both are false.
13 Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of
the assertion
14 both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of
the assertion
15 The gravitational potential is always a negative value. This is because: It is
defined as zero at infinity.
16 Both should be projected with the same velocity
17 Its value is constant anywhere in the Universe, and hence it's called 'Universal'.
