Questions Related to introduction to gravitation

If E, M, J and G, respectively, denote energy, mass, angular momentum, and gravitational constant, then $EJ^2 / M^5G^2$ has the dimensions of

physics universe and space heliocentric model introduction to gravitation introduction to gravity

  1. Time

  2. Angle

  3. Mass

  4. Length

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$E=ML^2T^{-2}\ M+ML^0T^0\ G=M^{-1}L^3T^{-2}\ J=ML^2T^{-1}$

$EJ^2/M^5G^2=Ml^2T^{-2}\times M^2L^2T^{-1}$
$=M^5\times M^{-2}\times L^{-6}T^{-4}\ =M^0L^0T^0$

Choose the correct statement:

  1. Is quadrupled

  2. Remains Unchanged

  3. Is halved

  4. Is doubled

Show answer
Correct Option: A

The force of attraction between two unit point masses separated by a unit distance is called

physics universe and space heliocentric model introduction to gravitation introduction to gravity

  1. Gravitational potential

  2. Acceleration due to gravity.

  3. Gravitational field

  4. Universal gravitational constant.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Universal gravitational constant is the force of attraction between two bodies of unit mass and at a unit distance from each other.

In the relation F= $\dfrac{G M m}{r^{2}}$, the quantity G

  1. depends on the value of g at the place of observation.

  2. is used only when the earth is one of the two masses.

  3. is greatest at the surface of the earth.

  4. is universal constant in nature.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

G is the universal gravitational constant which remains constant irrespective of the place and time. G is the force of attraction between two bodies of unit mass and unit distance apart.

A body of mass $5\ kg$ is cut into two parts of masses (a) $\dfrac {m}{4}; \dfrac {3m}{4}$ (b) $\dfrac {m}{7}; \dfrac {5m}{7}$ (c) $\dfrac {m}{2}; \dfrac {m}{2}$ (d) $\dfrac {m}{5}; \dfrac {4m}{5}$. When these two pieces are kept apart by certain distance; In which case the gravitational force acting is maximum?

physics universe and space heliocentric model introduction to gravitation introduction to gravity

  1. In case a

  2. In case C

  3. In case d

  4. In case b

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Gravitation force between two masses is given by $F=\cfrac { G{ m } _{ 1 }{ m } _{ 2 } }{ { r }^{ 2 } } $

In case I:${ F } _{ 1 }=\cfrac { G\cfrac { m }{ 4 } .\cfrac { 3m }{ 4 }  }{ { r }^{ 2 } } =\cfrac { G{ m }^{ 2 } }{ { r }^{ 2 } } \times \cfrac { 1 }{ 16 } =\cfrac { G{ m }^{ 2 } }{ { r }^{ 2 } } \times 0.0625$
In case II: ${ F } _{ 2 }=\cfrac { G\cfrac { m }{ 7 } .\cfrac { 5m }{ 7 }  }{ { r }^{ 2 } } =\cfrac { G{ m }^{ 2 } }{ { r }^{ 2 } } \times \cfrac { 5 }{ 7 } =\cfrac { G{ m }^{ 2 } }{ { r }^{ 2 } } \times 0.714$
In case III: ${ F } _{ 3 }=\cfrac { G\cfrac { m }{ 2 } .\cfrac { m }{ 2 }  }{ { r }^{ 2 } } =\cfrac { G{ m }^{ 2 } }{ { r }^{ 2 } } .\cfrac { 1 }{ 4 } =\cfrac { G{ m }^{ 2 } }{ { r }^{ 2 } } \times 0.25$
${ F } _{ 2 }$ is maximum.
