In F = GMm/d², what does G represent?
RRB Group-D
05/11/2018 / Shift III
2018
✓ Answer:AUniversal gravitational constant
G is the universal gravitational constant.
42
An object is dropped from rest. What is its velocity after 15 s? Take g = 9.8 m/s².
RRB JE (Stage-II)
22/04/2025 / Shift II
2025
✓ Answer:C147 m/s
v = u + gt = 0 + 9.8 × 15 = 147 m/s downward, neglecting air resistance.
43
If a stone is thrown upward, what sign is assigned to gravitational acceleration when upward is positive?
RRB Technicians Grade-III
28/12/2024 / Shift III
2024
✓ Answer:BNegative
With upward chosen positive, gravity acts downward, so a = -g. The sign depends on the coordinate convention.
44
If gravitational force varies inversely as the nth power of distance, the period of a planet in a circular orbit of radius R is proportional to:
RRB Group-D
15/11/2018 / Shift I
2018
✓ Answer:CR^((n+1)/2)
For circular motion, m4π²R/T² ∝ R⁻ⁿ, so T² ∝ Rⁿ⁺¹ and T ∝ R^((n+1)/2).
45
Which force produces the acceleration of an object falling towards Earth?
RRB Technicians Grade-III
28/12/2024 / Shift I
2024
✓ Answer:CEarth's gravitational force
Earth's gravitational attraction produces acceleration towards its centre.
46
What happens to a massive object falling freely downward under Earth's gravity?
RRB ALP (Stage-I)
25/11/2024 / Shift II
2024
✓ Answer:AIts velocity increases
Its downward speed increases because gravity accelerates it downward, neglecting air resistance.
47
Which statements are incorrect? A. G has the same value on the Moon and Earth. B. Two 2 kg masses separated by 1 m attract with a force of 26.68 × 10⁻¹¹ N. C. Newton's law of gravitation is valid only in the laboratory. D. Force is inversely proportional to the square of separation.
RRB ALP & Technician
31/08/2018 / Shift III
2018
✓ Answer:COnly C
Newton's law is not restricted to laboratories. A, B and D agree with F = Gm₁m₂/r².
48
An object is dropped from a height of 50 m. What is its initial speed?
RRB Technicians Grade-III
23/12/2024 / Shift III
2024
✓ Answer:A0
Dropped means released from rest, so the initial speed is zero.
49
Earth's gravitational acceleration is six times the Moon's. Which statement is correct?
RRB ALP (Stage-I)
25/11/2024 / Shift III
2024
✓ Answer:AAn object's weight on Earth is six times its weight on the Moon
W = mg; with mass unchanged, weight is proportional to local g.
50
If the separation between two particles increases, their gravitational attraction:
RRB Group-D
12/11/2018 / Shift III
2018
✓ Answer:BDecreases
At fixed masses, gravitational force decreases as 1/r².
