Class 9 Gravitation Worksheet

1. The document discusses multiple choice questions about concepts in gravitation including the gravitational force, motion under gravity, and gravitational attraction between bodies. 2. It also includes short answer questions about calculating gravitational force between Earth and Moon using their masses and distance, differences between gravitational acceleration and universal gravitational constant, and deriving expressions for gravitational force and defining the gravitational constant. 3. Further questions involve calculations using gravitational acceleration on Earth and Moon, such as speed of objects in free fall, height and time for objects thrown up with an initial speed, and weight of a man on Earth and Moon.

assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reasOn is not the
corect explanation of assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false
6. Assertion : The gravitational attraction of moon is much less than that of carth.
Reason : Moon is the neutral satellite of the carth.

7.Assertion : If we drop a stoneand a sheet of paper from abalcony of first floor, then stone willreach
the
ground first.
Reason:The resistance due to air depends on velocity only.

8. Assertion :Weight of a body on carth is cqual to the force with which the body is attracted towards
the earth.
Reason : Weight of a body is independent of the mass of the body.
