Question

Does the acceleration of a freely falling object depend to any extend on the location,i.e.whether the object is on top of Mount Everest or in Death Valley, California? Explain.

Answer 1

ANSWER :
Yes , gravitational force depends on height ,so is the acceleration of a free falling body ..... hence it will matter whether it is dropped from mount everest or death valley.......

note........ but for all practical purposes as the height difference is negligible ,acceleration can be taken as a constant...
