Acceleration due to gravity:
When an object is dropped from some height, its velocity increases at a constant rate.
When object is dropped from some height , a uniform acceleration is produced in it by a gravitational pull of the earth and this acceleration does not depend on the mass of the falling object.
The uniform acceleration produced in a free falling object due to the gravitational force of the Earth is known as acceleration due to gravity (g).
The value of acceleration due to gravity(g) changes slightly from place to place but for most of the purposes it is taken to be 9.8 m/ s².
When a body is dropped freely , it falls with an acceleration of 9.8 m /s² & when a body is thrown vertically upwards it undergoes a retardation of 9.8 m/s².

The rate at which the velocity of the freely falling body increase us is called acceleration due to gravity
