Explanation:
a) Near the surface of the Earth, an object in free fall in a vacuum will accelerate at approximately 9.8 m/s2, independent of its mass. With air resistance acting on an object that has been dropped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 53 m/s (190 km/h or 118 mph) for a human skydiver.
b) A free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s, downward (on Earth). ... The numerical value for the acceleration of gravity is most accurately known as 9.8 m/s/s.
