Question

at which of the following place/locations the magnitude of g is the most?
a) At the top of the Mount Everest
b) At the equator
c) At the Antarctica
d) In deep well
14.
The force existing between two particles having mass 1 unit and at a distance of 1 unit
from each other is called
(a) Gravitational Potential
(b) Gravitational Acceleration
(c) Intensity of gravitational field
(d) Universal constant of gravitation​

Answer 1

Answers are given below.

Explanation:

• The magnitude of "g" is maximum at Antarctica.
• The acceleration of 'g' is maximum at poles.
• It is because the value of the earth's radius is minimum at the poles of the earth.
• As 'g' is inversely proportional to the square of radius therefore it will be maximum at Antarctica. Because Antarctica is located at the poles.
• The force existing between two particles having a mass of 1 unit and at a distance of 1 unit  from each other is called gravitational potential.
