– Gravitation
Summary: Objects in the universe attract each other with a force proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This force is called the gravitational force.
– Universal Law of Gravitation
Summary: States that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force that depends on their masses and the distance between them. The force acts along the line joining the centers of the objects.
– Motion of Objects Under the Influence of Gravitational Force of the Earth
Summary: All objects, regardless of their size or mass, fall from a height at the same rate under the influence of gravity. Air resistance affects the rate at which objects fall.
– Acceleration Due to Gravity
Summary: Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration experienced by objects falling towards the Earth. It is denoted by 'g' and has a constant value of 9.8 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface.
– Archimedes’ Principle
Summary: Archimedes' principle states that objects immersed in a fluid experience an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This principle explains why some objects float while others sink in fluids.
These are the important topics and their corresponding summaries from the chapter provided in the file "9th Science NCERT Chapter 9.pdf"【4:0†source】.
What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and a 1 kg object on its surface?
9.8 N
What is the importance of universal law of gravitation?
It explains the force of attraction between two objects based on their masses and the distance between them.
If the mass of one object is doubled, what happens to the force between the two objects?
The force between the two objects doubles.
What is the acceleration of free fall?
The acceleration of free fall near the surface of the Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
Why will a sheet of paper fall slower than one that is crumpled into a ball?
A sheet of paper falls slower than a crumpled ball because the sheet has more air resistance due to its larger surface area compared to the crumpled ball.
