Question

what do you mean by acceleration due to gravity?

Answer 1

The acceleration which is gained by an object because of the gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity. Its SI unit is m/s2 .Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth is represented as g.

Answer 2

Hi there,

It means the body which comes under the influence of gravity ,since it experience the gravitational force by earth,which is at the speed of 9.8 m/s^2 .

Gravitational force decreases with Attitude.Body at sea level experience the maximum gravitational force.

It is denoted by "g"
