A

Inertial mass is a measure of difficulty of accelerating a body by an external force whereas the gravitational force on it by an external mass

B

That the gravitational mass and inertial mass are equal is an experimental result

C

That the acceleration due to gravity on the earth is the same for all bodies is due to the equality of gravitational mass and inertial mass

D

Gravitational mass of a particle like proton can depend on the presence of neighbouring heavy objects but the inertial mass cannot

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Gravitational mass of proton is equivalent to its inertial mass and is independent of presence neighbouring heavy objects.

An examination consists of 10 multiple choice questions, where each question has 4 options, only one of which is correct. In every question, a candidate earns 3 marks for choosing the correct opion, and -1 for choosing a wrong option. Assume that a candidate answers all questions by choosing exactly one option for each. Then find the number of distinct combinations of anwers which can earn the candidate a score from the set {15, 16,17,18, 19, 20}.
