What is the variation in acceleration due to gravity with altitude? |
|
Answer» Variation in acceleration due to gravity due to altitude is given by, gh = g\(\left(\frac{R}{R + h}\right)^2\) where, gh = acceleration due to gravity of an object placed at h altitude g = acceleration due to gravity on surface of the Earth R = radius of the Earth h = attitude height of the object from the surface of the Earth. Hence, acceleration due to gravity decreases with increase in altitude. |
