CBSE Class 9 Science, Gravitation: Important topics and questions

Get the CBSE Class 9th Science chapter, Gravitation, Important topics & questions to prepare for CBSE Class 9 Science exam, 2017-2018. This will provide you the idea that what type of questions will be framed for exam and from what topics. The pattern in which the question paper is set is quite different from the manner in which the course structure is defined actually. Consider the terms/questions mentioned in this article at the time of studying.

Below are given some important term/topics to revise from chapter- Gravitation:

• Definition and nature of gravitational force
• How weight of a body varies place to place
• What is the application of centripetal force?
• Think about the nature of motion path of moon in absence of centripetal force
• Universal law of gravitation and universal gravitation constant
• Unit and value of universal gravitation constant
• Importance of universal gravitation constant
• Universal law of gravitation is applicable for light bodies or for heavy bodies
• Difference between mass and weight
• A man has a mass of 60 kg on earth. What will be the mass of man on moon(g_m=g_e/6)
• Kepler law and its application. Numerical based on kepler law
• SI unit of weight and force
• Difference between thrust and pressure. Unit of thrust and pressure
• The mass of the earth is 6 x 10 ²⁴ kg and that of the moon is 7.4 x 10²² kg .If the distance between the earth and moon is 3.84 x 10⁵ km. Calculate the force exerted by the earth on the moon. [ G= 6.7 x 10^-11 N m² kg^-2 ]
• Concept of free fall motion
• Use of all the three equations of motion by putting “g” in place “a”
• An object is thrown vertically upwards and rises to a height of 10 m. Calculate (i) the velocity with which the object was thrown upwards and (ii) the time taken by the object to reach the highest point
• Concept of buoyancy
• Why does an object float or sink when placed on the surface of water?
• Archimedes’ principle and concept of density
• Formula of relative density
• Relative density of silver is10.8. The density of water is10³ kg m^-3.What is the density of silver in SI unit?

Important Questions are as below:

Q. What happens to the force between two objects, if

          (i) the mass of one object is doubled?

          (ii) the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled?

          (iii) the masses of both objects are doubled?

Q. Why will a sheet of paper fall slower than one that is crumpled into a ball?
