Question

What will be the angle between the Gravitational force (F) and the displacement (S) when a stone is thrown upwards?
1. 90 Degree
2. 100 Degree
3. 120 Degree
4. 180 Degree

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 180 Degree

The correct answer is 180 Degree.

• Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation is used to explain gravitational force. 

• This law states that every massive particle in the universe attracts every other massive particle with a force.
• The exerted force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
• The gravitational force on Earth is equal to the force the Earth exerts on a person. 
• At rest, on or near the surface of the Earth, the gravitational force is equal to the weight of the person. 
• When a stone is thrown upwards, its motion is opposed by the gravity. 
• The angle formed between the Gravitational force and the Displacement in this case would be 180 Degree.
