(i) On what factors does acceleration due to gravity depend?

(ii) Why does a coin fall down faster than a kite?

(iii) If the kite and coin were dropped in a vacuum chamber, which would fall faster and why?

(iv) A 60kg man weighs ‘W’ kg on the moon. ‘W’ is
(a) 60kg
(b) 10kg
(c) 5kg
(d) 70kg

(v) Acceleration due to gravity varies with
(a) height
(b) depth
(c) shape of the planet
(d) All of these.

Answer 1

Answer: (i)The acceleration due to gravity depends on a height.

              (ii)Dye to the difference in their mass.

              (iii)Kite would fall faster ,due to the difference in the mass.

              (iv)10Kg

               (v)Height
