Answer:

9.8 m/s/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration produced by Earth's force of gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. Mathematically, the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = F/m

where:

a = acceleration due to gravity in m/s^2

F = force exerted in Newton

m = mass in kg

The equation shows that acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. Thus, the value of the acceleration due to gravity can be varied by changing either the force or the mass. Therefore, the correct option is 9.8 m/s/s.
