  • The gravitational force with which the sun attracts the earthi) is less than the force with which the earth attracts the sun
    ii)is the same as the force with which the earth attracts the sun
    iii) is more than the force with which the earth attracts the sun
    iv) varies with the distance between them

  • The mass of a body is different from its weight becausei) mass is a variable quantity whereas weight is constant
    ii) mass varies very little at different places whereas weight varies a lot
    iii) mass is constant but weight decreases as the body moves from the poles to the equator
    iv) mass is a measure of the quantity of matter whereas weight is a force

    a)1 only b)2 & 4                  c)3 only                                d)3 & 4
