What happens when two objects of different masses fall freely near the surface of the moon starting from the same height which one will reach first and why?

Text Solution

have same velocity at any instanthave different accelerationexperience forces of same magnitudeundergo a change in their inertia

Answer : A

Solution : Two object of different masses falling freely near the surface of moon will have same velocities at any instant. This is because for both,`u=0,a=g,v=u+at=0+g t=g t=`same for both.

• Answer:

  (d) Objects of different masses falling freely near the surface of the moon would have the same velocities at any instant because they will have same acceleration due to gravity.

• Answer:

    (c) In circular motion, the direction of velocity at a point is always along the tangent at that point. If string breaks, then the centripetal force acting on the stone becomes zero and it will move along a straight line tangential to the circular path.

• Answer:

    The motion of the planet around the earth is due to the centripetal force. This centripetal force is provided by the gravitational force between the planet and the sun.

  This force depends on the mass of the sun and mass of the planet, and on the distance between sun and planet.

• Answer:

    Time taken by both stone is given by second equation of motion

  As,                           
  so,
  and here                            s = h Where, m = Initial velocity in y-axis a = g acceleration due to gravity t = time displacement to time So,                            
                                 
  Therefore, if we drop down a stone from a height (h) and at same time throw another stone in horizontal direction, then both the stone strike the earth simultaneously at different places.

• Answer:

    No, those packets do not take same time to reach the surface of the earth. Because the value of g (i.e., acceleration due to gravity is) different at poles and equator due to rotation of the earth and is given by

   and at poles where as at equator . So, value of g at equator is less than value of g at poles and we know that. i.e.,
  Since, g is greatest at the poles than at the equator. So, packet dropped above the North Pole will reach first at the surface of the earth.

• Answer:

    Let radius and mass of the earth be R, M respectively and mass of an object be m. Weight of the object,

  ?.1
  According to the question, the diameter of the earth becomes half of its present value.  So, radius also becomes half of its initial values So,                         
  Again mass of radius also becomes half of its initial values So,                        
  Now, weight of the object                                
  Put  and M' = 4 m in above formula, we get                                
                                 
                                 
  From Eq, (i). we get            w' = 16 w Thus, weight of the object wilt become 16 times of its original weight.

• Answer:

    The force of attraction between two bodies of masses , and and separated by distance r is given by Newton's universal law of gravitation i.e.,where, G is the universal constant in nature. This force is known as gravitational force. The gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. All bodies fall with the same acceleration due to gravity whatever their masses have. i.e.,

    (where M = Mass of the earth, R = Radius of the earth) and from the equation it is clear that, acceleration due to gravity (i.e., g) depends only on mass of the earth, the radius of the earth. So, two bricks tied together will not fall faster than a single bricks under the action of gravity. Hence, the hypothesis is not correct.
