Class 9 Science - Chapter Gravitation NCERT Solutions | Write the formula to find the magnitude

What happens to the force between two objects, if
(i) the mass of one object is doubled?
(ii) the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled?
(iii) the masses of both objects are doubled?

Why is the weight of an object on the moon 1/6th its weight on the earth?

A stone is released from the top of a tower of height 19.6 m. Calculate its final velocity.

Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why then, a heavy object does not fall faster than a light object?

You find your mass to be 42 kg on a weighing machine. Is your mass more or less than 42 kg?

Why does an object float or sink when placed on the surface of water?

What is the acceleration of free fall?

The volume of a 500 g sealed packet is 350 cm³. Will the packet float or sink in water if the density of water is 1 g cm^-3? What will be the mass of the water displaced by this packet?

The earth and the moon are attracted to each other by gravitational force. Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth? Why?

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 49 m/s. Calculate
(i) the maximum height to which it rises,
(ii) the total time it takes to return to the surface of the earth.

Which of the following has more inertia: (a) a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? (b) a bicycle and a train? (c) a five-rupees coin and a one-rupee coin?

Which of the following are matter?

Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, cold-drink, smell of perfume.

A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (Fig. 11.3). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?

What is meant by a pure substance?

How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?

In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

What are canal rays?

State any two conditions essential for good health.

How is our atmosphere different from the atmospheres on Venus and Mars?

Who discovered cells, and how?

Which method is commonly used for improving cattle breeds and why?

A farmer moves along the boundary of a square field of side 10 m in 40 s. What will be the magnitude of displacement of the farmer at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds?

What is the mass of:

(a) 0.2 mole of oxygen atoms?
(b) 0.5 mole of water molecules?

Explain, why is it difficult for a fireman to hold a hose, which ejects large amounts of water at a high velocity.

Arrange the following substances in increasing order of forces of attraction between the particles— water, sugar, oxygen.

A bus decreases its speed from 80 km h^-1 to 60 km h^-1 in 5 s. Find the acceleration of the bus.

List any three reasons why you would think that you are sick and ought to see a doctor. If only one of these symptoms were present, would you still go to the doctor? Why or why not?

If the organisation of a cell is destroyed due to some physical or chemical influence, what will happen?

What factors may be responsible for losses of grains during storage?

Identify the type of tissue in the following: skin, bark of tree, bone, lining of kidney tubule, vascular bundle.
