The acceleration due to gravity at the Earth’s surface depends on
General KnowledgePhysics
- Aits mass only.
- Bits radius only.
- Cboth its mass and radius.
- Deither its mass or its radius.
Explanation
The acceleration due to gravity at Earth's surface is g = GM/R^2, where M is Earth's mass and R its radius. It therefore depends on both the mass and the radius. Hence both mass and radius.
