In each of the following questions, a statement of Assertion is
given and a corresponding statement of Reason is given just below it. Of
the statements, given below, mark the correct as:
(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct
explanation of assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct
explanation of assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) Both Assertion and Reason are false.
Q.1. Assertion : Universal gravitational constant G is a scalar quantity.
Reason : The value of G is same through out the universe.
Q.2. Assertion : When distance between two bodies is doubled and also
mass of each body is doubled, then
the gravitational force between them remains the same.
Reason : According to Newton’s law of gravitation, product of force is
directly proportional to the product
mass of bodies and inversely proportional to square of the distance
between them.
Q.3. Assertion : A man is sitting in a boat which floats on a pond. If the
man drinks some water from the pond, the level of water in the pond will
decrease.
Reason : The weight of the liquid displaced by the body is greater than the
weight of the body.
Q.4. Assertion : During a journey from the earth to the moon and back,
maximum fuel is spent to overcome the earth’s gravity at take off.
Reason : Earth’s mass is much greater than that of the moon.
Q.5. Assertion : Any two objects in the universe attract each other by a
force called gravitation force.
Reason : The force of gravitation exerted by the earth is called gravity.
Q.6. Assertion : An object floats if it displaces an amount of liquid whose
weight is greater than the actual
weight of the object.
Reason : During floatation an object experiences no net force in the
downward direction.
Q.9. Assertion : The density of a liquid depends upon the nature and
temperature of the liquid.
Reason : The volume of the liquid depends upon temperature.
Q.11. Assertion : It is the gravitational force exerted by the sun and the
moon on the sea water that causes to the formation of tides in the sea.
Reason : Gravitational force of attraction is a strong force.
