Numerical 01: Determine the force of gravitational attraction between the earth (m = 5.98 x 1024 kg) and a 70-kg physics student if the student is standing at sea level, a distance of 6.38 x 106 m from earth's center.

Numerical 02: Determine the force of gravitational attraction between the earth (m = 5.98 x 1024 kg) and a 70-kg physics student if the student is in an airplane at 40000 feet above earth's surface. This would place the student a distance of 6.39 x 106 m from earth's center(What do you interpret from both the Numerical. State it)

Numerical 03: What is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and a 1 kg object on its surface? (Mass of the earth is 6 × 1024 kg and radius of the earth is 6.4 × 106 m).

Numerical 04: Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only 1/6 as strong as gravitational force on the Earth. What is the weight in newtons of a 10 kg object on the moon and on the Earth?

Numerical 05: Calculate the force of gravitation between the earth and the Sun, given that the mass of the earth = 6 × 1024 kg and of the Sun = 2 × 1030 kg. The average distance between the two is 1.5 × 1011 m.

Numerical 07: A stone is released from the top of a tower of height 19.6 m. Calculate its final velocity just before touching the ground.

Numerical 08: A stone is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. Taking g = 10 m/s2, find the maximum height reached by the stone. What is the net displacement and the total distance covered by the stone?

Numerical 09: A car of mass 200 kg moving at 36 km/h is brought to rest after it covered a distance of 10 m. Find the retarding force acting on the car.

Numerical 10: What will be the change in acceleration of a sliding block, if its mass is doubled while a constant force is acting on it?
