attracts an apple, the apple also attract the earth. If it does, why does the earth not move towards
the apple ?
9. According to Newton’s law of gravitation, if each body in the universe attracts every other body, why
don’t two bodies come towards each other ?
10. “The value of the escape velocity ve for a stationary body on the surface of a planet is directly
proportional to the mass and the radius of the planet”. Is this statement true ? If not, correct it and
write it.

Material (i) Material (ii)
(A) Material (ii) is more elastic than material (i) and hence material (ii) is more brittle.
(B) Material (i) and (ii) have the same elasticity and the same brittleness.
(C) Material (ii) is elastic over a larger region of strain as compared to (i).
(D) Material (ii) is more brittle than material (i).
15. Explain why
(a) The blood pressure in humans is greater at the feet than at the brain.
(b) Atmospheric pressure at a height of about 6 km decreases to nearly half of its value at the sea
level, though the height of the atmosphere is more than 100 km.
(c) Hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even though pressure is force divided by area.
