NEETPhysicsGravitation
Statement-I: Gravity holds the atmosphere around the earth. Statement-II: The dimensional formula of gravitational field is same as that of acceleration due to gravity.
Options
- ABoth Statement-I and Statement-II are correct.
- BBoth Statement-1 and Statement-II are incorrect.
- CStatement-I is correct & Statement-II is incorrect.
- DStatement-I is incorrect & Statement-II is correct.
Correct answer
A. Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct.
Step-by-step solution
- Statement-I: True - Earth's gravity attracts gas molecules and holds the atmosphere around the planet. - Statement-II: True - Gravitational field (intensity) (E_g=F / m ) has dimensions of acceleration: ( [L T⁻² ] ), same as (g ). (There's no need for an explanation link per the options; both statements are correct.)
