The statements that are true about acceleration due to gravity,
A. is greater at poles.
B. g value decreases with height.
C. value is same all over the earth.
D. g value is maximum at centre of earth.
Options
- A and
- BA and D
- CB and C
- DC and D
Correct answer
A. and
Step-by-step solution
Acceleration due to gravity is given by
As radius of earth at poles is minimum so, acceleration due to gravity will be maximum.
Acceleration due to gravity at height is given by
g^{\prime}=\frac{g}{\left(1+\frac{h}{R}\right)^2}
