What is the value of acceleration due to gravity

Open in App

Solution

The explanation is as follows

The acceleration which is gained by an object because of gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity. Its SI unit is m/s². Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth is represented as g. It has a standard value defined as 9.80665 m/s2.

Hope it helps.
All the best!
