Question

What do you mean by acceleration due to gravity? Write its numerical value and unit. Derive it’s unit from the formula g = GM /R2

Answer 1

Heya friend,

What do you mean by acceleration due to gravity?
ANSWER:- The uniform acceleration produced in a body when it falls freely under the effect of gravity is known as acceleration due to gravity.

Write its numerical value and unit.
ANSWER:- Numerical value= 9.8m/s^2
S.I Unit= m/s^2

Hope my answer helps you :)

Answer 2

The acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity. Its SI unit is m/s 2. Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction. It has a standard value defined as 9.80665 m/s 2.
