The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the changes in the acceleration due to gravity (g) and gravitational potential (V) at different heights and depths relative to the Earth's surface. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **At height \( h = R \)**: - The formula for acceleration due to gravity at height \( h \) is: \[ g_h = \frac{g}{(1 + \frac{h}{R})^2} \] - Substituting \( h = R \): \[ g_h = \frac{g}{(1 + 1)^2} = \frac{g}{4} \] - Thus, the value of \( g \) decreases by a factor of \( \frac{1}{4} \). - **Match**: \( (A) \) with \( (p) \). 2. **At depth \( h = \frac{R}{2} \)**: - The formula for acceleration due to gravity at depth \( d \) is: \[ g_d = g \left(1 - \frac{d}{R}\right) \] - Substituting \( d = \frac{R}{2} \): \[ g_d = g \left(1 - \frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{g}{2} \] - Thus, the value of \( g \) decreases by a factor of \( \frac{1}{2} \). - **Match**: \( (B) \) with \( (q) \). 3. **At height \( h = R \)** for gravitational potential \( V \): - The formula for gravitational potential at height \( h \) is: \[ V_h = -\frac{GM}{R + h} \] - Substituting \( h = R \): \[ V_h = -\frac{GM}{R + R} = -\frac{GM}{2R} \] - The potential at the surface is \( V = -\frac{GM}{R} \). The ratio of the potentials is: \[ \frac{V_h}{V} = \frac{-\frac{GM}{2R}}{-\frac{GM}{R}} = \frac{1}{2} \] - Thus, the potential decreases by a factor of \( \frac{1}{2} \). - **Match**: \( (C) \) with \( (r) \). 4. **At height \( h = \frac{R}{2} \)** for gravitational potential \( V \): - Substituting \( h = \frac{R}{2} \): \[ V_h = -\frac{GM}{R + \frac{R}{2}} = -\frac{GM}{\frac{3R}{2}} = -\frac{2GM}{3R} \] - The ratio of the potentials is: \[ \frac{V_h}{V} = \frac{-\frac{2GM}{3R}}{-\frac{GM}{R}} = \frac{2}{3} \] - Since there is no option that matches this ratio, we conclude: - **Match**: \( (D) \) with \( (t) \) (None). ### Final Matches: - \( (A) \) - \( (p) \) - \( (B) \) - \( (q) \) - \( (C) \) - \( (r) \) - \( (D) \) - \( (t) \)
