Why is the atmosphere much rarer on the moon than on the earth?
The day is longer on the earth by about 4 minutes because:(a) the earth is round in shape (b) the earth rotates on its axis(c) the earth revolves around the sun (d) the earth has atmosphere
What is the value of gravitational constant G (i) on the earth, and (ii) on the moon?
The mass of the body on earth is $60\ kg$, what is its weight on the earth and on moon.
Fill in the following blanks with suitable words:(a) The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about .................... of that on the earth.(b) In order that the force of gravitation between two bodies may become noticeable and cause motion, one of the bodies must have an extremely large .......................(c) The weight of an object on the earth is about .............. of its weight on the moon.(d) The weight of an object on the moon is about ..................... of its weight on the earth.(e) The value of g on the earth is about ............... of that on the moon.(f) If the weight of a body is 6 N on the moon, it will be about................on the earth.
At a place, value of \( g \) is less by \( 1 \% \) than its value on the surface of the Earth (Radius of Earth \( =6400 \mathrm{~km} \) ). The place is\( 64 \mathrm{~km} \) below the surface of the Earth\( 64 \mathrm{~km} \) above the surface of the Earth\( 30 \mathrm{~km} \) above the surface of the Earth\( 32 \mathrm{~km} \) below the surface of the Earth.
Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only $\frac{1}{6}$ as strong as gravitational force on the earth. What is the weight in newtons of a $10\ kg$ object on the moon and on the earth?
1. The mass of the moon is about 0.012 times that of the earth and its diameter is about 0.25 times that of earth. The value of G on the moon will be:a) In Same as that on the earthb) About one-fifth of that on the earthc) About one-sixth of that on the earthd) About one-fourth of that on the earth2. An apple falls from a tree because of the gravitational attraction between the earth and the apple. If F1 is the magnitude of the force exerted by the earth on the apple and F 2 is the magnitude of the force exerted by the apple on the earth, thena) F1 is very much greater than F2b) F2 is very much greater than F1c) F1 and F2 are equald) F1 is only a little greater than F2
If the mass of the moon is 1/100 th the mass of the earth and the radius of moon is 1/4th to the radius of earth , what is the ratio of acceleration due to gravity on earth to that on the moon?
The value of quantity $G$ in the formula for gravitational force:(a) depends on mass of the earth only (b) depends on the radius of earth only(c) depends on both mass and radius of earth (d) depends neither on mass nor on radius of earth
The weight of any person on the moon is about 1 /6 times that on the earth. He can lift a mass of 15 kg on the earth. What will be the maximum mass, which can be lifted by the same force applied by the person on the moon?
In the relation $F=G\times \frac{M\times m}{d^2}$, the quantity $G$:(a) depends on the value of g at the place of observation(b) is used only when the earth is one of the two masses(c) is the greatest on the surface of the earth(d) is of the same value irrespective of the place of observation
Fill in the following blanks with suitable words:The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about ___________ of that on the earth.In order that the force of gravitation between two bodies may become noticeable and causes motion one of the bodies must have an extremely large ___________.The weight of an object on the earth is about ___________ of its weight on the moon.The weight of an object on the moon is about ___________ of its weight on the earth.The value of 'g' on the earth is about ___________ of that on the moon.If the weight of a body is 6N on the moon, it will be about ___________ on the earth.
The mass of the earth is 6 × 1024 kg and that of the moon is 7.4 ×1022 kg. If the distance between the earth and the moon be 3.84 × 105 km, calculate the force exerted by the earth on the moon. (G = 6.7 × 10−11 Nm2 kg−2)
The weight of a person on a planet A is about half that on the earth. He can jump upto $0.4\ m$ height on the surface of the earth. How high he can jump on the planet A?
