Question

Give three differences between acceleration due to gravity (g) and
universal gravitational constant (G).​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The differences between G and g I as follows

(1) G is called as universal gravitational constant and g is acceleration due to gravity.

(2) The value of G=6.67408 × 10

−11

m

while the value of g=9.8ms

(3) The value of G remains constant everywhere while that of g varies.

(4) G is a constant while g is the acceleration produced on a freely falling body.

Answer 2

Answer:

G (Gravitational Constant)

1. It is constant.

2. Its unit is Nm²/kg².

3. It is scalar.

g (Acceleration due to gravity)

1. It is variable.

2. It's unit is m/s².

3. It is vector.
