Question

Assertion :Acceleration due to gravity at a place on earth remains constant for all objects Reason: Acceleration due to gravity doesn't depend on the mass of the object but only on mass of earth

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
• C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
• D. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Answer is A.
Gravitational acceleration is the acceleration of an object caused by the force of gravity from another object. In the absence of any other forces, any object will accelerate in a gravitational field at the same rate, regardless of the mass of the object. On the surface of the Earth, all objects fall with an acceleration of somewhere between 9.78 and 9.82$m/s^2$ depending on lattitude, with a conventional standard value of exactly 9.80665$m/s^2$.
In a place on the earth, the acceleration due to gravity is constant because it is determined by the mass, and radius of the Earth and not the properties of the object.
Hence, Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
