Does earth imparts equal acceleration to all bodies ? If yes why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the Earth imparts equal acceleration to all bodies, we can analyze the gravitational force acting on an object near the Earth's surface. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Gravitational Force**: The gravitational force \( F \) acting on a body of mass \( m \) near the Earth's surface can be expressed using Newton's law of gravitation: \[ F = \frac{G M m}{r^2} ...

Why does the earth impart the same acceleration to all bodies ?

Does earth pull all objects with equal acceleration? If yes, why will a sheet of paper fall slower than one that is crumpled into a ball?

Statement I : If bodies slide down an inclined plane without rolling, then all the bodies reach the bottom simultaneously. Statement II : Acceleration of all bodies are equal and independent of shape.

a. If the velocity of a body is zero, does it mean that its acceleration is also zero ? (Yes//No) b. If the acceleration of a body is zero does it mean that its velocity is also zero ? (Yes//No) c. If a body travels with uniform acceleration a_(1) for a time t_(2) thenthe average acceleration is given by a_(av) =(a_(1)t_(1)+a_(2)t_(2))/(t_(1)+t_(2) (Yes//No) d. If a body starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration the displacemects of the body is 1 s , 2 s, 3 s , etc., are in the ration of (1: 4: 9), etc. (True//False) e. For a body moving whith uniform acceleration, the displacent of the bosy in successive seconds is in the ration of 1: 3: 5: 7 .........................(True//False) .

As it falls, the acceleration of a body dropped from the height equal to that of radius of earth,

On the pole of the Earth a body is imparted velocity v_0 directed vertically up. Knowing the radius of the Earth and the free-fall acceleration on its surface, find the height to which the body will ascend. The air drag is to be neglected.

Does the acceleration with which a body falls towards the centre of the earth depend on mass of the body ?
