Choose the correct alternative:(a) Acceleration due to gravity increases/decreases with increasing altitude.(b) Acceleration due to gravity increases/decreases with increasing depth. (assume the earth to be a sphere of uniform density).(c) Acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the earth/mass of the body.(d) The formula –G Mm(1/r2– 1/r1) is more/less accurate than the formula mg(r2– r1) for the difference of potential energy between two points r2and r1distance away from the centre of the earth. |
