NEET Physics Acceleration due to Gravity MCQ Question
Imagine a diagram showing a point mass m placed at both a height h above and a depth d below the surface of the Earth. Which equation correctly represents the acceleration due to gravity at the height h above the Earth's surface?
g(h) = g - (h/RE)
g(h) = (G * ME) / (RE + h)^2
g(h) = g - (2h/RE)
g(h) = (G * ME * m) / (RE + h)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, the acceleration due to gravity at a height h is given by g(h) = (G * ME) / (RE + h)^2, which is option B.
