Questions
Which graph correctly presents the variation of acceleration due to gravity with distance from the centre of the earth?
a
b
c
d
detailed solution
Correct option is C
gd = g(1-dg)or gd = gR-dRor gd = gyRor gd ∝ ySo, within the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity varies linearly, with the distance from the centre of the Earth. This explains the linear portion OA of the graphs.Talk to our academic expert!
