Question

Differentiate between universal gravitational constant and acceleration due to gravity. ( G & g )

P.S. Please write the differences in a table ( in paper)

Answer 1

Universal gravitation constant(G):-

1.It is define as the force of attraction acting between two bodies each of unit mass, whose centers are placed unit distance apart.

2. Its value is same throughout the universe .

3. It is a scalar quantity .

4. Its value dose not depends upon the nature and the size of the bodies.

Acceleration due to gravity(g):-

1.It is define as the constant acceleration produced in a body when it falls freely under the effect of gravity .

2. its value changes from place to palce.

3. it is a vector quantity.

4. Its value depends upon the nature and the size of the bodies.
