Answer-d
Explanation- for small objects sizes less than 100 m centre of mass very close with the centre of gravity of the body. But when the size of object increases it weight changes and its CM and CG become far from each other.

This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Answer-a,c,d
Explanation- F1=-F2=- n
r12=r1-r2
acceleration due to gravity ,g = F/mass=
as g is constant hence constant of proportionality will not be constant in kepler's third law.
Hence kepler's law will not be valid.
For negative n, g=
=
Mo>m1 or m2 so objects lighter than water will sink

This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Answer-c, d
Explanation- Gravitation force F= where M is mass of sun and m is mass of earth.
When G decrease force will also decrease so according to this it will not in the fixed circular orbits around the sun. as when radius increases the force will decreases and soon earth leave the solar system.

This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Answer-a, c, d
Explanation-due to the huge amount of charges on the sun and the earth electrostatics force of attraction will be large. Gravitational force is also attractive in nature have both forces will be added and obeys kepler's law also.

This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Answer-a, c, d
Explanation- G'=10G
Consider the diagram

Force on the objects due to the earth =
= (10g)m= 10mg
Force on the objects due to the sun F=
As r>>R so F will be very small
So effect of sun will be neglected
Now g'=10g
Hence weight of person =10mg
So gravity pull on the person will increase, due to it walking on ground would be more difficult
Critical velocity Vc is proportional to g
So Vc
V'>g
Vc'>Vc hence rain will fall faster. To overcome the increased gravitational force of the earth the aeroplane will have to travel much faster.
