Question
The gravitational force causes ____.
- High and low tides
- The motion of celestial bodies
- Both 1 and 2
- None of the above
Hint:
The gravity of the earth pulls all objects towards the centre. Not only the objects on earth but also the surrounding objects too.
The correct answer is: Both 1 and 2
The correct option is c)Both 1 and 2.
The high tide and low tide are caused by the moon. The moon's gravitational pull creates what are known as tidal forces. Tidal forces cause the Earth and its water to bulge on the side closest to the Moon and on the side furthest from it.
Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the moon in orbit around the earth. The gravitational pull of the moon pulls the oceans, causing tides. Gravity creates stars and planets by pulling the matter that makes them up.

Joseph wanted to study the dependence of the gravitational force of attraction between two bodies on the mass of one body. Therefore, he did the required calculations by keeping the mass of the first body and their distance of separation constant and simply varying the mass of the second body. He calculated the value of the gravitational force between those two bodies 10 times by taking different masses for the second body. He then plotted a graph of the calculated data taking the force along the y-axis and the mass of the second body along the x-axis. How would the graph look like?

Sherlin wanted to study the dependence of the gravitational force of attraction between two bodies on the distance of separation. Therefore, she did the required calculations by keeping the masses of the two bodies constant and simply varying their distance of separation. She calculated the value of the gravitational force between those two bodies 10 times at different distances of separation. She then plotted a graph of the calculated data taking the force along the y-axis and the distance of separation along the x-axis. How would the graph look like?
