$g = 0, G = 6.67 	imes 10^{-11} \ Nm^2/kg^2$; $g$ is a vector,$G$ is a scalar.

Vedclass · Answer

(B) $1$. At the center of the Earth,the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ is $0$ because the net gravitational force acting on an object at the center is zero.$2$. The universal gravitational constant $(G)$ is a fundamental constant of nature and its value remains $6.67 	imes 10^{-11} \ Nm^2/kg^2$ everywhere in the universe,including the center of the Earth.$3$. Acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction (towards the center of the Earth).$4$. The universal gravitational constant $(G)$ is a scalar quantity as it has only magnitude.

State the values of $g$ and $G$ at the center of the Earth. Identify which of $g$ and $G$ is a vector and which is a scalar.
