Assertion : An object may fall with a constant velocity. Reason : This happens when acceleration of the object is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

Assertion : In the case of free fall of the lift, the man will feel weightlessness. Reason : In free fall, acceleration of lift is equal to acceleration due to gravity.

The velocity-time graph of an object is shown below. The acceleration of the object is

If the velocity of an object is increasing and changing at a uniform rate then the acceleration of the object is:

Can the velocity of an object be in a direction other than the direction of acceleration of the object ? Explain.

The chart above shows approximate of the acceleration due to gravity in meters per second squared (m/(sec^(2))) for the eight planets in our solar system. The weight of an object on a given planet can be found by using the formula W=mg, where W is the weight of the object measured in newtons, m is the of the object measured in kilograms, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet measured in m/sec^(2) . An object on Earth has a weight of 150 newtons. On which planet would the same object have an approximate weight of 170 newtons?

What is the weight, in newtons, of an object on Mercury with a mass of 90 kilograms?

The velocity-time graph of an object is given below. Calculate the average acceleration of the object in the time interval of 4 s to 6 s.

A man in a lift feels an apparent weight W when the lift is moving up with a uniform acceleration of 1/3rd of the acceleration due to gravity. If the same man were in the same lift now moving down with a uniform acceleration that is 1/2 of the acceleration due to gravity, then his apparent weight is

A : If an object is taken to the centre of earth, then its centre of gravity cannot be defined. R : At the centre of earth acceleration due to gravity is zero.
