  3. CTwo cars A and B are moving away from each other in opposite directions. Both the cars are moving with speed of 20m s ^
  4. DTwo cars A and B are moving away from each other in opposite directions. Both the cars are moving with speed of 20m s ^

Correct answer

B. Two cars A and B are moving away from each other in opposite directions. Both the cars are moving with speed of 20m s ^

Step-by-step solution

Acceleration due to gravity at a depth dd below the surface of the earth is given by gdepth =gsurface (1−dR)=gsurface [R−dR]=dsurface (rR)\begin{aligned} g_{\text{depth }} & =g_{\text{surface }}\left(1-\frac{d}{R}\right) \\ & =g_{\text{surface }}\left[\frac{R-d}{R}\right]=d_{\text{surface }}\left(\frac{r}{R}\right) \end{aligned} Also, for a point at height hh above surface, gheight =gsurface [R2(R+h)2]g_{\text{height }}=g_{\text{surface }}\left[\frac{R^2}{(R+h)^2}\right] Therefore, we can say that value of gg increases from centre to maximum at the surface and then decreases as depicted in graph (b).
