2. which of the two 'g' and 'G'
a) is a vector
b) does not change with the location on the Earth's
Surface ?
Answers
Explanation:
Difference between two
g → Acceleration due to gravity
G → Universal Gravitation Constant
(a) Vector Quantity
→Quantity which has both magnitude as well as direction.
Since 'g' is Acceleration due to gravity it has both magnitude as well as direction. Hence it is a vector quantity.
(b) Universal Gravitation Constant does not depend on mass or location hence its value remain constant everywhere.
