The law of gravitation gives the gravitational force between:
(a) the earth and a point mass only
(b) the earth and the sun only
(c) any two bodies having some mass
(d) any two charged bodies only

Academic Physics NCERT Class 9

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
Calculate the force of gravitation between the earth and the Sun, given that the mass of the earth $=6\times10^{24}\ kg$ and of the Sun $=2\times10^{30}\ kg$. The average distance between the two is $1.5\times10^{11}\ m$.
The mass of the sun is 2 x 1030kg and the mass of the earth is 6 x 1024 kg. If the average distance between the sun and the earth is 1.5 x 108 km, calculate the force of gravitation between them. G=6.7 x 10-11 Nm2 kg -2.
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?
Which of the following statements is/are false?a. The male gamete is larger, with a nucleus and more cytoplasm than the female gamete. b. The fusion of the two gametes is called fertilization. c. The product of fusion of the two gametes is called the zygote.(a) Only a(b) Only a and b(c) Only b(d) Only b and c(e) Only c
Give the formula for the gravitational force $F$ between two bodies of masses $M$ and $m$ kept at a distance $d$ from each other.
What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and a $1\ kg$ object on its surface? Mass of the earth is $6\times10^{24}\ kg$ and radius of the earth is $6.4\times 10^6\ m$.
Which of the following plants are non-flowering and reproduce by the method of spore formation?a. Sweet potato b. Asparagus c. Ferns d. Mosses(a) Only a and b(b) Only a and c(c) Only a and d(d) Only b and c(e) Only c and d
Two objects repel each other. This repulsion could be due to the$(a)$. frictional force only$(b)$. electrostatic force only $(c)$. magnetic force only$(d)$. either a magnetic or an electrostatic force
Why moon revolves around the earth and not around the sun? As the force of attraction between the sun and moon is greater than the force of attraction between earth and moon.
A stone and the earth attract each other with an equal and opposite force. Why then we see only the stone falling towards the earth but not the earth rising towards the stone?
An apple of mass 100 g falls from a tree because of gravitational attraction between the earth and the apple. If the magnitude of the force exerted by the earth on the apple be $F_1$ and the magnitude of the force exerted by the apple on the earth be $F_2$, then:(a) $F_1$ is very much greater than $F_2$(b) $F_2$ is very much greater than $F_1$(c) $F_1$ is only a little greater than $F_2$(d) $F_1$ and $F_2$ are exactly equal
What do we call the gravitational force between the earth and an object?
What is the formula to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and an object on the surface of the earth ?
Which of the Kepler’s laws of planetary motion led Newton to establish the inverse-square rule for gravitational force between two bodies?
