What will be the acceleration due to gravity at a height $h$ above the Earth's surface,where $R$ is the radius of the Earth and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth?
- A$\frac{g}{(1 + \frac{h}{R})^2}$
- B$g(1 - \frac{2h}{R})$
- C$\frac{g}{(1 - \frac{h}{R})^2}$
- D$g(1 - \frac{h}{R})$

View SolutionWhen a ball is dropped from a height $h$,it takes $t \ s$ to reach the ground. If the same experiment is done on a different planet having a mass $100$ times the earth's mass and a radius $10$ times the earth's radius,then the time it will take to cover the same height on the new planet is:
