Which of the following is a property of a uniform gravitational field?
Correct answer: D. Its field strength is the same at all points within it
- A. Its magnitude is the same in all directions
- B. The gravitational potential has the same value at all points within it
- C. Its direction is opposite to the direction of motion of attest mass released in it
- D. Its field strength is the same at all points within it
Explanation
d) Its field strength is the same at all points within it:This option suggests that the field strength (magnitude of the gravitational field) is the same at all points within a uniform gravitational field. This is correct. In a uniform gravitational field, the field strength is constant throughout the field. The field strength determines the magnitude of the gravitational force experienced by an object in the field.
