The universal gravitational constant on a planet of mass M is G. What is its value on another planet of mass 4M?
G is a universal constant and does not depend on the planet's mass.
32
If the masses of both objects are tripled, what happens to their gravitational force at unchanged separation?

✓ Answer:CIt becomes nine times as large
F' = G(3m₁)(3m₂)/r² = 9F.
33

✓ Answer:CFiring a bullet from a gun
The propulsion and recoil involved in firing a gun are explained by forces from expanding gases and conservation of momentum, rather than gravitational attraction.
34
Which statements are false? A. G has the same value on Earth and the Moon. B. Two 2 kg masses separated by 1 m attract with a force of 26.68 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg². C. Force is inversely proportional to the square of separation. D. Halving the separation doubles the force.

✓ Answer:COnly D
The source selects only D: halving separation makes the force four times as large. Statement B has the correct numerical force but prints the unit of G instead of N; this source unit error is retained and flagged.
g = GM/R² is independent of the falling object's mass.
36
A body falls from rest and reaches the ground in 2 s. What is its final velocity? Take g = 10 m/s².

✓ Answer:A20 m/s
v = gt = 10 × 2 = 20 m/s downward.
37
If gravitational force becomes F/9, how has the separation changed, assuming unchanged masses?
RRB Group-D
10/10/2018 / Shift I
2018
✓ Answer:AIt has tripled
Since F ∝ 1/r², reducing force by nine requires tripling separation.
38
If u, g and h are the initial velocity, gravitational acceleration and downward displacement, which equation gives final velocity v?
RRB Technicians Grade-III
26/12/2024 / Shift II
2024
✓ Answer:Cv² - u² = 2gh
The constant-acceleration equation is v² = u² + 2gh when downward is positive. It is a kinematic equation, not Newton's third law as stated in the source solution.
39
Which is not an example of gravity in the source question?
RRB Group-D
24/10/2018 / Shift II
2018
✓ Answer:BCausing a black hole to rotate
The source selects B. A black hole's rotation reflects its angular momentum; the other options directly describe gravitational binding or orbital motion.
40
Near Earth's surface, gravitational acceleration of an object of mass m is:

2024
✓ Answer:CIndependent of m
g = GM/R² is independent of the object's mass.
