Explain why, for changes in vertical position of a point mass near the Earth’s surface, the gravitational field strength may be considered to be constant.
The detailed solution steps are locked. Click on the blue button to unlock them.
The gravitational field strength at a point can be defined as the force per unit mass acting on a small mass placed at that point.
The change in height is negligible compared to the radius of the Earth, so, the spacing and direction of the field lines do not significantly change. Thus, the gravitational field strength remains approximately constant.
