NEET Physics Acceleration due to Gravity MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the acceleration due to gravity (g) is correct?
g decreases with increasing altitude above the Earth's surface.
g remains constant regardless of depth within the Earth.
g increases with increasing depth below the Earth's surface.
g is dependent on the mass of the object experiencing the gravitational force.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, acceleration due to gravity decreases with increasing altitude and also decreases with increasing depth, while it is independent of the mass of the object.
