Line 173: − === Activity 2 – Observe a freely falling body === − − '''Objective: To observe the behaviour of a freely falling object''' − − '''Procedure:''' − − Ask a child to drop a piece of chalk from terrace, Start the stop clock as soon as the child drops it. Put off the clock as soon as the chalk touches the ground, note down the time taken , Repeat the same expt with a stone,& calculate the time, Time taken will be same in both the cases. Inference : All bodies accelerate equally irrespective of their mass. −

Ocean tides are caused by differences in the gravitational pull between the Moon and the Earth on the opposite sides of the Earth. Gravitational force is stronger on the side of the Earth nearer to the Moon and is weaker on the side of the Earth farther from the Moon. The bulge that is caused in the Earth's oceans due to this gravitational pull results in two sets of tides on the Earth.
