Question

Assertion: The value of acceleration due to gravity does not depends upon mass of the body on which force is applied.
Reason: Acceleration due to gravity is a constant quantity.
A. If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explantion of the assertion.
B. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not true the correct explantion of the assertion.
C. If the assertion is true but reason false
D. If both the assertion and reason are false.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
Acceleration due to gravity is given by `g=(GM)/(R^(2))`. Thus it does not depends onmass of body on which it is acting. Also it is not a constant quantity it changes with change in value of both `M` and `R` (distance between two bodies).
