Question
A ball is thrown up with a speed of 4.9 ms-1.
Calculate the time it takes to reach this height.
Solution
Initial speed of ball is = 4.9 ms-1.
Acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 ms-2.
We know v = u + at
0 = 4.9 - 9.8 t
T = 0.5 sec.

If you compare the gravitational force on the Earth due to the Sun to that due to the Moon, you would find that the Sun’s pull is greater than the Moon’s pull. (You can check this yourself using the data available in the succeeding exercises). However, the tidal effect of the Moon’s pull is greater than the tidal effect of Sun. Why?

Different points in earth are at slightly different distances from the sun and hence experience different forces due to gravitation. For a rigid body, we know that if various forces act at various points in it, the resultant motion is as if a net force acts on the c.m. (centre of mass) causing translation and a net torque at the c.m. causing rotation around an axis through the c.m. For the earth-sun system (approximating the earth as a uniform density sphere).
