Gravitation – Objective Questions

Page 1 • Previous Exam Questions with Explanations


Question 1

The gravitational force between two bodies becomes one-fourth when the distance between them is:

A) doubled B) halved C) tripled D) unchanged

Correct Answer: A) doubled

Explanation:

Gravitational force F ∝ 1/r². If distance becomes 2r, force becomes 1/(2²) = 1/4.


Question 2

Acceleration due to gravity at the centre of Earth is:

A) maximum B) minimum C) zero D) equal to surface value

Correct Answer: C) zero

Explanation:

At the centre of Earth, gravitational forces from all sides cancel each other, so net force is zero.


Question 3

The weight of a body on the Moon is about:

A) same as Earth B) twice that on Earth C) one-sixth of Earth D) zero

Correct Answer: C) one-sixth of Earth

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity on Moon ≈ g/6. Weight = mg, so weight reduces to one-sixth.


Question 4

Escape velocity of a planet depends on:

A) mass of object B) shape of object C) mass and radius of planet D) density of object

Correct Answer: C) mass and radius of planet

Explanation:

ve = √(2GM/R). It depends only on planet parameters, not object mass.


Question 5

If Earth’s radius becomes half but mass remains same, acceleration due to gravity becomes:

A) half B) double C) four times D) one-fourth

Correct Answer: C) four times

Explanation:

g = GM/R². If R → R/2, then g → 4g.


Question 6

A satellite revolves around Earth because:

A) no gravity acts on it B) gravity acts as centripetal force C) it is outside atmosphere D) its mass is small

Correct Answer: B) gravity acts as centripetal force

Explanation:

Gravitational force provides necessary centripetal force for circular motion.


Question 7

Mass of a body on Moon compared to Earth is:

A) less B) more C) zero D) same

Correct Answer: D) same

Explanation:

Mass is intrinsic property and does not depend on gravity.
