Question

The acceleration due to gravity is ____.

Answer 1

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 by the letter g. It has a standard value defined as 9.80665 m/s2.[ However, the actual acceleration of a body in free fall varies with location. (Wikipedia)

Answer 2

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.89 m / s2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity was discovered by Newton when he was sitting under a tree and was watching an apple reaching the ground instead of going upwards. He fond that there is a gravitational pull attached to the ground of the earth which makes all the objects towards the ground. It is represented by 'g' and its value is equal to 9.8 m /s2.
