Acceleration Due to Gravity and its variation

Question 1: easy

Assertion (A): If a body is taken from earth to moon, its gravitational mass becomes one-sixth on moon.

Reason (R): Gravitational mass depends upon acceleration due to gravity.

1. Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

2. Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

3. (A) is true but (R) is false

4. Both (A) and (R) are false

View Answer

Mass is an intrinsic property of a body and does not change with location or acceleration due to gravity. Only weight \(W = mg\) changes. Therefore, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.
