NEET Physics Acceleration due to Gravity Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Maximum g | (i) At height h above the surface |
| (b) Minimum g | (ii) At depth d below the surface |
| (c) Value of g | (iii) At the surface of the Earth |
| (d) g decreases | (iv) As we go up or down from the surface |
a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
a-iii, b-iv, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The acceleration due to gravity is maximum at the surface of the Earth (g = g_surface) and decreases either as we go up to a height h or down to a depth d below the surface, confirming that a-iii, b-i, c-ii, and d-iv are correctly matched.
