Why the value of acceleration due to gravity is on earth.
Step1: Analysing the gravitational force
Step1: Acceleration of the lighter body
The acceleration of the lighter body towards the heavier body of mass is given by:
Step2: Acceleration of the heavier mass
The acceleration of the heavier mass will be:
Step3: Comparison between lighter body and heavier body
Step4: Acceleration of earth
Similarly, the corresponding acceleration of earth is times lesser than the value of , hence approximately equal to zero.
Hence, the acceleration due to the gravity of the earth is .
