g and G, The differences. Class 9

 

The acceleration due to gravity (g) 


1. It is the acceleration caused by the gravitational force.

2. Its value depends on the mass and radius of a planet or heavenly body.

3. Its value changes from place to place.

4.Its a vector quantity.


The universal gravitational constant(G)

1. It is numerically equal to the force of attraction between two bodies each of mass 1kg separated by distace of 1m.

2. Its value does not depend on the mass and size of bodies. 

3. Its value is constant everywhere in the universe. 

4. It's a scalar constan.

MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE , VELOCITY RATIO

Which is always constant for a machine of given design: MA or VR ? Ans: VR remains constant for a machine of given design as it depends on the distances moved by the load and effort but MA can vary due to the friction developed between the moving parts of the machine.

What is Regelation?

The melting point of ice is 0°C at normal pressure but when you increase the pressure on ice it melts at the temperature below 0°C( i.e. melting point of ice decreases with pressure). When the pressure applied is released then water formed from ice starts freezing. This phenomenon is called REGELATION.
