Q.1 A) Choose the correct alternative and rewrite the sentence (1)
1) What is the potential energy at infinite distance from Earth?
a. 0 b. – GMm / R2 c. GM / R2 d. infinity

B) Answer the following questions. (2)


1) Find co-related terms
Force : dynes :: velocity : ……………

2) State true or false.


Mass is a measure of the inertia of an object.

Q.2 A) Give scientific reason. (Any one) (2)


1) Moon and artificial satellites are in free fall.

2) The value of ‘g’ is greater at the poles than at the equator.

B) Answe the following questions. (Any two) (4)


1) Distinguish between
Mass and Weight

2) Short notes
Universal gravitational constant

3) Newton’s universal law of gravitation

Q.3 Answer the following questions. (Any two) (6)


1) Answer the following based on figures.

Questions :
i. What is observed in the given figure and who formulated it?
ii. What is the first law of planetary motion ?
Applying second law of planetary motion, what can we say about the motion of the
iii.
planet ?
2) The weight of an object (value of ‘g’) decreases as we go higher above the surface of Earth.

3) Complete the paragraph:​


(escape, motion, gravity, directly, infinite, zero, rest, inversely )
An object going vertically upwards from the surface of the earth, having an initial velocity
equal to the ............... velocity, escapes the gravitational force of the earth. The force of
gravity, being ................. proportional to the square of the distance, becomes .............. only
at ............... distance from the earth. This means that for the object to be free from the
................ of the earth, it has to reach infinite distance from the earth. i.e. the object will
come to ............... at infinite distance and will stay there.

Q.4 Answer the following questions. (Any one) (5)


1) Write the three laws given by Kepler. How did they help Newton to arrive at the inverse
square law of gravity?

2) Derive the formula for escape velocity using the law of conservation of energy.
