Question

1. The value of acceleration g is greater at the pole than at the equator.

2. The value of gravitational acceleration (g) decreases as we go above the Earth's

surface.

3. The value of gravitational acceleration (g) decreases as we go deep inside the earth.

4. When we drop a feather and a stone at the same time from a height the stone

reach the earth faster than a feather.

5. The weight of an object varies on different planets.

6. The value of gravitational acceleration (g) is taken to be -g when studying the

motion of an object thrown upwards in a straight line.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Value of effective g increases as we move from equator to north pole because on equator its value is less due to earth's rotational motion and consequent centrifugal force.

Moreover, the equator of the earth is at a larger distance from the centre of the earth as compared to the poles. This is another reason why g is greater on the pole than the equator.
