JEE Main & Advanced Physics Gravitation / गुरुत्वाकर्षण Question Bank Acceleration Due to Gravity

  • question_answer
    What will be the acceleration due to gravity at height h if h >> R. Where R is radius of earth and g is acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth                [RPET 2001]

    A)             \[\frac{g}{{{\left( 1+\frac{h}{R} \right)}^{2}}}\]

    B)               \[g\left( 1-\frac{2h}{R} \right)\]

    C)             \[\frac{g}{{{\left( 1-\frac{h}{R} \right)}^{2}}}\]

    D)               \[g\left( 1-\frac{h}{R} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[{g}'=g\,{{\left( \frac{R}{R+h} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{g}{{{\left( 1+\frac{h}{R} \right)}^{2}}}\]
