Guess Paper 2012 Class XI Subject PHYSICS (Gravitation) 1. [1] Why is gravitational potential energy always negative? [1]

2. At what height above the surface of the earth value of acceleration due to gravity is reduced to one fourth of its value on the surface of the earth?

3. Na e two factors which deter ine whether a planet has at osphere or not? [1] !. "n which funda ental law of physics is #epler$s second law is based? [1] %. Which is greater the attraction of the earth for 1 #g of alu inu or alu inu or attraction of 1#g of alu inu for the earth? [1]

&. 'istance between two bodies is increased to three ti es its original value. What is the effect on the gravitational force between the ? [1] (. *. What is #epler$s law of periods? )how it athe atically? [2] [2] [2]

Write two characteristics of gravitational force? sphere finds an e,pression for
