At what height above the surface of the earth, the acceleration due to the gravity of the earth becomes 5% of that of the surface?
(a) h = 0.5 R
(b) h = 1.5 R
(c) h = 2.5 R
(d) h = 3.5 R
The question was asked in my homework.
The origin of the question is Acceleration due to Gravity below and above the Surface of Earth topic in portion Gravitation of Physics – Class 11
