Here,
Mass of A (nig) + Mass of B (nn) = 50 ke (Given)
Distance (d) = 1m Given)
According to Newton's Universal Law of
Gravitation, the force of gravitation is calculated by
using the formula

Now, lt us suppose you are A and B is your
frend, You can see thatthe muta orc of atmaction

of you will not experlence ths force at all, hereby
illustrating thatthe gravtaionl force (between two
small objects having small masses) is very weak in
nature

Here,
Mass of the earth (m) = 6 * 10 kg
Mass of the moon (m) = 74 % 10 kg

"Now, putting these valves in the above formula,
we get

You can see that the mutual force of atracion
between the earh and the moon is very large 2.01
* 10" N). tis due to this large force that it binds
them, such that i makes the moon to move around
the earth with uniform speed. The above example
proves that the gravitational force between big
objects having very large masses is very strong in
nature
Exanete How does the force of gravitation
berween wo objects change, when the distance
between them is reduced to half?
SOLUTION Let the masses of ro objects be mand
im, and the distance between them be d. The force of
griviition is calculated by using formula. for
Newton's Universal Law of Graviation, i

When the distance berween the two objects is
reduced to half ie,, from dto 2, then

Therefore, when the distance between the two
objects is reduced to half, the force of gravitation
becomes 4 times the initial valueExawpie bull s thrown vertically upovards with
a velocity of 49 mvs. Calculate

Now, putting all the known values in the above
Formula, we get

b= 125m
So, the maximum height reached by the ball is
1225 m.
b. Time taken to reach the highest point () = ?

Now, putting the known values in the above
formula, we get

We know, time taken by a body to reach to the
highest point = time taken by the body to fall from
the same height.
Therefore,
“Total time taken by the ball to retum to the surface of
the earth = 5.5453 10s.
Exawpte _A scone is released from the top of
tower of height 19. m, Calculate its final velocity just
