Physics - Gravitation
Practise 22 KCET previous year questions on Gravitation, compiled from papers spanning 2007 to 2026. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty KCET tests.
Gravitation has been asked in 17 of the 20 years of KCET papers analysed (2007–2026), with 22 questions in all. 55% of them were easy, 36% moderate and 9% tough. Most of its questions came from 2026, with 2 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 5 questions across 3 papers, about 1.7 per paper.
The chapter's 6 topics are not weighted equally: Kepler laws (6 questions, 27%), Acceleration Due to Gravity (5 questions, 23%), and Motion of satellite (5 questions, 23%) have been asked the most. Kepler laws has also led over the last five years, with 2 questions. Motion of satellite has produced the most tough questions (1).
