Numerical Problems on variation of acceleration due to gravity, class 11 | Physics Advocate

Q1.
Calculate the percentage decrease in the weight of a body when it is taken to a height of 40 km above the Earth's surface. Radius of Earth = 6,400 km
Ans. 1.25%

Q2.
Calculate the depth below the surface of Earth where the acceleration due to gravity is 25% of its value at the Earth's surface. Take, radius of Earth = 6,400 km.
Ans. 4.8 × 10⁶ m

Q3.
A body weighs 100N on Earth's surface. Calculate the gravitational force on the body at a height equal to one-fourth the radius of Earth.
Ans. 64 N

Q4.
Calculate the percentage decrease in weight of a body when taken to a tunnel 38.4 km below the Earth's surface.
Ans. 0.6%

Q5.
Calculate the height from the Earth's surface at which the acceleration due to gravity becomes 75% compared at Earth's surface. Take, radius of Earth = 6,400 km.
Ans. 990 km

EXTRA QUESTIONS

Q6.
Find the percentage increase in acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet if its radius shrinks by 0.5% and its mass remains constant.
Ans. 1%

Q7.
If the whole Earth was made of iron of relative density 7.86, what would be the value of acceleration due to gravity on its surface?
Ans. 14.04 m/s²

Q8.

Age problems (for practice) | class 10 mathematics | advguruji | Physics Advocate

Linear Equations Q1. Ten years ago, father was twelve times as old as his son and ten years hence, he will be twice as old as his son will be. Find their present ages. Ans. Present age of father = 34 years          Present age of son = 12 years Q2. Three years ago, Priya's mother was six times older than her. Four years from now, Priya's mother will be one year older than thrice her age. Find the present age of Priya and her mother. Ans.  Present age of Priya = 8 years       Present age of mother = 33 years Q3. Five years ago, Rakesh was five times younger than his mother.

Energy of electron in nth orbit of Hydrogen atom | Numericals by Physics Advocate

Q1. How much energy is needed to relocate an electron from first excited state to fourth excited state in an Hydrogen atom? Also, find the type of light needed in this process. Q2. Find the wavelength of light released when an electron jumped from 4th excited state to ground state in an Hydrogen atom. Also, name the series. Q3. Find the wavenumber of light released when an electron jumped from 5th excited state in bracket series (in H - atom). www.advguruji.blogspot.com Q4.

What if we can contact Aliens ? by Physics Advocate/advguruji

Before the beginning, first discuss about aliens. Aliens are those creatures which do not belong to our world. For more than 50 years we are searching for aliens and we have found nothing. Are they ignoring us? Now a question comes to our mind. Can we contact aliens? The answer is: most probably NO. But why? Because first we have to find that type of planets (or natural satellites) which can support life. This is not an easy task. Also, a planet which can support life is not enough. Why? Because life can exist in various forms. One form is unicellular organisms. For example, in our solar system it is believed that Titan (Saturn's moon) can support unicellular life. But the disadvantage is we cannot contact them by our communication methods. But yes, there is a high possibility in future that a rover mission can take some samples of the unicellular or may be small multicellular organisms and send the data to Earth. Now comes the interesting part. If a planet is supporti...
