A small spherical ball of radius r falls freely under gravity through a distance of ℎ before entering a tank of water. If, after entering the water, the velocity of the ball does not change, then ℎ is proportional \(r^{2}\) \(r^{4}\) \(r^{3}\) \(r^{5}\) None 10.

A body of mass m is taken to the bottom of a deep mine. Then Its weight decreases Its weight increases Its mass increases Its mass decreases None 12. Which of the following statements about the gravitational constant is true It has same value in all systems of units It does not depend on the nature of the medium in which the bodies are kept. It is a force It has no unit None 13. Which of the following statements should be correct for a rocket fired from the earth towards the moon ? The value of g first decreases and as the rocket approaches the Moon the value of g increases but now the direction is towards the Moon. The value of g remains constant throughout the path of the rocket The value of g keeps increasing as the rocket goes to the Moon The value of g keeps decreasing as the rocket goes to the Moon None 14. The weight of a person reduces to one-sixth on the Moon than on the Earth What changes will you notice in the mass of a person on the Moon in comparison to the Earth? The mass of the person reduces to half on the moon The mass of the person reduces to one fourth on the moon The mass of the person reduces to one sixth on the moon like weight The mass of the person remains unchanged on the moon None 15. If water falls from a tap, then the volume rate of flow of water at depth of ℎ, \((A_{0})\)is the area of cross-section of the mouth and \(A_{0}/2\) is the corresponding area at depth ℎ) $$A_{0}\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}gh}$$ $$A_{0}\sqrt{2gh}$$ $$2A_{0}\sqrt{gh}$$ $$A_{0}\sqrt{3gh}$$ None 16. Four marbles are dropped from the top of a tower one after the other with an interval of one second. The first one reaches the ground after 4 seconds. When the first one reaches the ground the distances between the first and second, the second and third and the third and fourth will be respectively 40, 30 and 20 m 30, 20 and 10 m 35, 25 and 15 m 20, 10 and 5 m None 17. Which of the following is an application of Archimedes' principle? Used in Lactometers Used in Hydrometer All of these Used in designing ships and submarines None 18. The moon's radius is 1/4 times that of the earth and its mass 1/80 times that of the earth. If g represents the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth, then on the surface of the moon its value is : g/8 g/6 g/4 g/5 None 19. At the surface of a certain planet acceleration due to gravity is one-quarter of that on the earth. If a brass ball is transported to this planet, then which one of the following statements is not correct? The mass of the brass ball on this planet is quarter of its mass as measured on the earth None of the above The brass ball has same volume on the other planet as on the earth The brass ball has same mass on the other planet as on the earth None 20. A body falls from height h=200 m. The ratio of distance travelled in each 2 s, during t=0 to t=6 s of the journey is (g=10m/s 2 ): 1:3:5 1:4:9 1:2:4 1:2:3 None Time's up Please Share This Share this content Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Leave a Reply Cancel replyCommentEnter your name or username to commentEnter your email address to commentEnter your website URL (optional) Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
