7. The escape velocity on the surface of earth is Ve. If body is thrown with twice
this velocity then what will be its velocity after escaping the gravitational field :
(a) Ve
(b) √2 Ve
(c) √3 Ve
(d) (1/ 2) Ve
8. With what velocity should a body be thrown up so that it rises to a height equal
to the radius of the earth (g = 10 m s–2 at the surface) ?
(a) 8000 m /s
(b) 6400 m/ s
(c) 1600 m/ s
(d) 1000 m/ s
9. The time period of planet X around sun is 8 times that of Y. The distance of X
from the sun is how many times greater than that of Y?
(a) 4 times
(b) 3 times
(c) 13/ 2 times
(d) 11/2 times.
10. If both the mass and radius of earth decrease by 1%, the value of acceleration
due to gravity will decrease by nearly :
(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.
19. Define escape velocity. Derive an expression for the escape velocity of a body from
the surface of Earth.
20. Define acceleration due to gravity and show that gravity decreases with depth
21. Gravitational force between two bodies is 1 N. If the distance between them is made
twice, what will be the force?
22.(i) Define gravitational potential at a point. Is it scalar or vector quantity?
(ii) Obtain an expression for gravitational potential at a point due to earth.

ANSWERS:
1 C: N-m2/Kg2
2 B: No

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'.
18 zero
