Answer:

9.8 m/s2

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration gained by an object due to the gravitational force. Its SI unit is m/s 2. It has both magnitude and direction, hence, it’s a vector quantity. Acceleration due to gravity is represented by g. The standard value of g on the surface of the earth at sea level is 9.8 m/s2.

Acceleration due to gravity depends directly on the mass of Earth and inversely to the square of radius of Earth.
