Question

Is$g$ vector or scalar? Write its SI unit.

Answer 1

1. The term "free-falling object" refers to an object that falls solely due to gravity. The downward acceleration of a free-falling object is $9.8m/s^2$ (on Earth). It's abbreviated as$g$.
2. The acceleration gained by an object as a result of the gravitational force is known as acceleration owing to gravity. $m/s^2$is the SI unit. Both a magnitude and a direction are present. As a result, it's a vector value.
3. Hence, the $g$is the vector quantity and its SI unit is $m/s^2$.
