Question

define acceleration due to gravity​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration that is gained by an object due to the gravitational force. Its SI unit is ms². It has a magnitude as well as direction. Thus it is a vector quantity.

We represent acceleration due to gravity by the symbol g. Its standard value on the surface of the earth at sea level is 9.8 ms². Its computation formula is based on Newton’s Second Law of Motion and Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In physics, gravitational acceleration is the free fall acceleration of an object in vacuum — without any drag. This is the steady gain in speed caused exclusively by the force of gravitational attraction. At given GPS coordinates on the Earth's surface and a given altitude, all bodies accelerate in vacuum at the same rate.[1] This equality is true regardless of the masses or compositions of the bodies.

At different points on Earth surface, the free fall acceleration ranges from 9.764 m/s2 to 9.834 m/s2[2] depending on altitude and latitude, with a conventional standard value of exactly 9.80665 m/s2 (approximately 32.17405 ft/s2). This does not take into account other effects, such as buoyancy or drag.Mass of the body,
