NEET Physics Acceleration due to Gravity Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Maximum value of g | (i) Decreases with depth |
| (b) Minimum value of g | (ii) At the Earth's surface |
| (c) Variation of g with height | (iii) Decreases with altitude |
| (d) g at depth d | (iv) Increases with depth |
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-i
a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The maximum value of g occurs at the surface of the Earth; as you go deeper or higher, the value of g decreases. This is in line with the NCERT context which states that g is maximum at the surface and decreases with both altitude and depth.
