Question

The value of acceleration due to gravity is ____ m/s2.

hintHint:

Universal law of gravitation, f space equals fraction numerator G m M over denominator open parentheses r plus h close parentheses squared end fraction

The correct answer is: 9.8


    The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8ms-2 

    The value 9.8ms-2 for acceleration due to gravity implies that for a freely falling body the velocity changes by 9.8ms-1 every second.
