NEET Physics Acceleration due to Gravity MCQ Question
What is the acceleration experienced by a mass m at the surface of the Earth, denoted by the symbol g?
It is equal to GM/R².
It is dependent on the mass of the object.
It is zero at the surface of Earth.
It varies with the object’s height above sea level.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Earth, denoted by g, is related to the gravitational force by the equation g = GM/R², where M is the mass of the Earth and R is the radius of the Earth.
