NEET Physics Acceleration due to Gravity MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 11

Consider a diagram showing the earth with a smaller sphere representing a depth d below the surface. Which expression correctly represents the acceleration due to gravity at this depth?

Question diagram
A

g(d) = g (1 - d/R_E)

B

g(d) = g (1 + d/R_E)

C

g(d) = g (R_E/d)

D

g(d) = g (d/R_E)

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the NCERT context, the acceleration due to gravity at a depth d is represented as g(d) = g (1 - d/R_E), which shows a decrease in gravity with depth.
