Q102
Due to gravity, acceleration at the Equator is
A.
Less than acceleration on poles
AnswerB.
More than acceleration on poles
C.
Equal to acceleration on poles
D.
Not dependant on the centrifugal acceleration
of Earth
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Due to gravity, acceleration at the Equator is less than acceleration on poles. It is because the equatorial distance is more than the polar distance and this is because of the shape of Earth as we know that the earth is a sphere so the the polar radius is less as compared to equatorial radius.
