Question

What is meant by the statement that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2

Answer 1

this statement the acceleration due to Gravity means that any object which is attracted by earth by a constant acceleration by gravity which is 9.8m/s^2

Answer 2

ans:for example:the earth exerts a gravitational force of 9.8 Newton's on analog mass 1 kilogram .this is comparatively large force.it is due to this large gravitational force exerted by earth that when the 1 kg ball is dropped from a height ,it falls to earth. ((pls note:when both the objects are very big, having very large masses, then the gravitational force attraction between them becomes extremely large..))
