T F c + F g.. + mg x N 11. Explain some situations where the center of gravity of man lies outside the body. A. (i) While doing Yogasanas, if we bend our body in inverted V shape. Then the center of gravity may lie out side of the body. (ii) The athletes while doing high jump, bend their body as arc. In that situation the center of gravity may lie out side of the body. G G

4 12. What path will the moon take when the gravitational interaction between the moon and earth disappears? A. If the gravitation force between the moon and earth disappears, then the moon may selects the path of tangent drawn to the orbit. Otherwise the moon may not revolve around the earth. Otherwise the moon revolves around the sun directly as a planet. Anything may happens as per remaining system. Actually gravitational force doesn t disappears, so these worries are useless. 13. Can you think of two particles which do not exert gravitational force on each other? A. We can t find two particles which do not exert gravitational force on each other. Because according Newton s law of universal gravitation every massive body can exert gravitational force. 14. Where does the center of gravity of the atmosphere of the earth lie? A. The center of gravity of the atmosphere of the earth coincides the center of gravity of the earth. Because earth is surrounded by the atmosphere with nearly equal thickness. 15. How can you find the center of gravity of a India map made of steel? Explain. A. Center of gravity of a India map made of steel : Take the India map made of steel. Make three small holes along its edge. Suspend the map freely from one hole by using thread. Take a plumb bob and suspend it from the same hole. Draw a line along the thread. It indicates the line of weight at that point. Repeat the same from remaining holes and draw other two lines of weight. The concurrent point of the three lines is the Center of gravity of the map. 16. A small metal washer is placed on the top of a hemisphere of radius R. What minimum horizontal velocity should be imparted to the washer to detach it from the hemisphere at the initial point of motion? V A. Radius of hemisphere R Velocity of washer V The centripetal force act on the washer is F (1) Let the mass of washer is m And acceleration by gravity is g The force by hemisphere on washer is F mg.(2) From (1) and (2) mg V 2 gr V gr 17. Explain why a long pole is more beneficial to the tight rope walker if the pole has slight bending. A. A long pole is more beneficial to the tight rope walker, for balancing the center of gravity. By adjusting the place of the pole, one can balance easily their body and can walk on the rope. Finally the line of weight of total system must passes through a vertical line drawn to the rope. 18. Why is it easier to carry the same amount of water in two buckets, one in each hand rather than in a single bucket? A. If a person hold two buckets with water in each hand, then the center of gravity of the person doesn t change. But if the person hold a bucket with same quantity of water only in one hand, then the center of gravity moves towards the bucket (mass). Change in center of gravity causes un stability of body as gravitational force acts on it. So We feel hard to hold the bucket. R

5 19. A boy is throwing balls in to the air one by one in such a way that when the first ball thrown reaches maximum height he starts to throw the second ball. He repeats this activity. To what height do the balls rise if he throws twice in a second? A. He is throwing two balls per second. i.e. one ball per half a second. Time to reach maximum height s (g 10 m/s2) u u u 5 m/s Maximum height 1.25 m 20. A man is standing against a wall such that his right shoulder and right leg are in contact with the surface of the wall along his height. Can he raise his left leg at this position without moving his body away from he wall? Why? Explain. A. Let a man is standing against the wall such that his right shoulder and right leg are along his height. Then the center of gravity is nearly at the belly point. In this situation, he can t raise his left leg. Because if he raise the left leg, the center of gravity moves. Then he must move his body parts. 21. A ball is dropped from a balloon going up at a speed of 5 m/s. If the balloon was at a height 60 m. at the time of dropping the ball, how long will the ball take to reach the ground? A. Speed of balloon 5m/s (upward) Velocity of ball (u) -5 m/s Height (S) 60 m Time to reach ground (t)? Formula : S ut + gt2 60 (-5)t + (10)(t)2 60-5t + 5t2 12 -t + t2 t2 t 12 0 t2 4t + 3t 12 0 t(t-4) + 3(t-4) 0 (t-4)(t+3) 0 Now t-4 0 t 4 s 22. An apple falls from a tree. An insect on the apple finds that the earth is falling towards it with an acceleration g. Who exerts the force needed to accelerate the earth with this acceleration? A. The apple applies gravitational force on earth which is equal to the force applied by the earth on apple. But the acceleration of earth due to force of apple is very small. It is negligible. 23. Where does the center of gravity lie, when a boy is doing sit-ups? Does weight vector pass through the base or move away from the base? Explain. A. When a boy doing sit-ups the center of gravity move up and down. The weight vector passes through the base but the move slightly with respect to the previous position.
