6. A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 49 m/s. Calculate :

i. the maximum height to which it rises
ii. the total time it takes to return to the surface of earth.
7. a. Differentiate between the mass and weight of the object.
b. Name the instruments used to measure mass and weight of an object.
c. How does g vary with the change of altitude as well as on the surface of earth? What is the
value of g at the centre of the earth?
8. Define acceleration due to gravity. Derive an expression for acceleration due to gravity in terms
of mass of earth (M) and Universal gravitational constant (G).
9. A body weighs more at poles than at the equator of earth. Why?
10. Calculate the acceleration due to garvity on the surface of a planet whose mass and radius are
double than the mass and radius of the earth.
11. The earth attracts a body of mass 2 kg on its surface. Calculate the force of gravity acting on the
object.
12. A stone dropped from a building takes 4 s to reach the ground what is the height of the building?
13. Define G. Why it is called universal gravitational constant?
14. Calculate the average density of earth in terms of g, G & R . Where R is the radius of earth.
15. The gravitational force between two objects is F. If masses of both object are halved without
changing distance between them, then how the gravitational force will change?
