Questions and Answers

What is the effect of height on the acceleration due to gravity according to the formula $g' = g (1- \frac{2h}{R})$?

It decreases as height increases. (correct)

It remains constant regardless of height.

It increases linearly with height.

It becomes negative as height increases significantly.
