Class 9th – Gravitation – THRUST & PRESSURE
THRUST The force that is applied on a surface that is perpendicular to the surface is called THRUST. Thus thrust is a perpendicular force. Its SI Unit is N (Newton) Thrust is in opposite direction to gravity. PRESSURE Thrust on unit area is called Pressure. When Force F is applied on a Surface Area A…

Class 9th – Gravitation – MASS & WEIGHT
According to Galileo, Two bodies of different masses dropped from the same height will touch the floor at the same in the absence of air resistance. For example, if we drop two objects of masses 5kg and 8kg from same height then both the object will reach at the surface of earth at same…

Class 9th – Gravitation – Variation of g
We know that the earth is not spherical in shape; the earth is flat from the pole side and bulging from the equator making the shape of geoid. Thus earth is geoid in shape. When we talk about poles, it can be clearly depicted from the diagram that the radius at the poles will be…

Class 9th – Gravitation – FREE FALL
FREE FALL Whenever objects fall on the earth which is due to gravitational pull and this gravitational pull of earth which makes object fall towards it under this force alone is called as FREE FALL. When the object fall towards the earth, there will be no change in the direction of motion but as the…

Class 9th – GRAVITATION
Earth attracts every object towards it by a force. This force is called force of gravitation or gravitational pull. This gravitational pull is also called as fore of attraction, as it attracts things towards earth. An object falls on the earth and this is due to force of Gravity or Gravitational pull. Example: When you…
