The acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface is approximately:
A
9.8 m/s^2
B
10.8 m/s^2
C
9.8 m/s
D
6.7 m/s^2
Correct Answer: Option A — 9.8 m/s^2
Explanation:
Standard gravitational acceleration near Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 metres per second squared, meaning a freely falling object's s...
Standard gravitational acceleration near Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 metres per second squared, meaning a freely falling object's speed increases by about 9.8 m/s every second, ignoring air resistance.
