Physics – Answer Key
Part A
√

2. Force between M and 2M : Option B (2GM 2 /d2 )
3. SI unit of stress: Option B (N m−2 )
Fill in the blanks

4. Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = 6
of that on Earth.
5. Region obeying Hooke’s law = Elastic region.
Part B
m1 m2
6. Universal law of gravitation: F = G 2 , force acts along line joining two
r
masses.
r
2GM √
7. Escape speed: vesc = = 2gR ≈ 11.2 km/s (Earth).
R
8. Kepler’s Laws:
(a) Planets move in elliptical orbits, Sun at one focus.
(b) Equal areas in equal times (areal velocity constant).
(c) T 2 ∝ a3 (time period squared proportional to cube of semi-major axis).
9. Hooke’s Law: Stress is proportional to strain, for small deformations (within
elastic limit).
σ ∝ ε or σ = Eε
where E = Young’s modulus.
Part C
GM
10. Relation between g and G: g = .
R2
GM m
11. Gravitational potential energy: U = − .
r
12. Three elastic moduli: Young’s modulus, Bulk modulus, Modulus of rigidity.
13. Stress–strain curve: Draw diagram; mark proportional limit, elastic limit, yield
point, breaking point.
