Physics · Acceleration due to gravity and its variation with altitude and depth
The value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth depends on.
The value of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth depends on.
- A. pressure
- B. acceleration
- C. gravitational force between an object and the earth
- D. none of these
Step-by-step solution
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface depends on Earth's mass and radius (and factors like latitude and altitude), not on pressure, acceleration itself, or the gravitational force on a specific object. While g = F/m, the force F varies with object mass, but g remains constant at a given location.
