Help with Acceleration due to gravity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of acceleration due to gravity, specifically the standard value of 9.8 m/s² and its more precise value of 9.80665 m/s². Participants emphasize the importance of formulating clear questions to facilitate understanding and problem-solving related to this topic. The conversation highlights the necessity of using word problems to effectively illustrate the application of gravitational acceleration in real-world scenarios.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts, particularly kinematics.
  • Familiarity with gravitational acceleration and its standard values.
  • Ability to solve word problems in physics.
  • Knowledge of measurement units, specifically meters per second squared (m/s²).
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the derivation of the acceleration due to gravity formula.
  • Explore real-world applications of gravitational acceleration in physics problems.
  • Learn how to solve complex word problems involving gravity.
  • Investigate variations in gravitational acceleration based on altitude and location.
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, educators teaching kinematics, and anyone interested in understanding the principles of gravitational acceleration.

Hey guys i really need help with Acceleration due to gravity (use word problems to define ur answer)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
If you ask a question, we can help you.
 
g=9.8m/s^2

Try to fix your questions so i can answer it. I assume that you are looking for 9.8 m/s^2, but i don't see how to define an answer using a question?
 
The standard value is 9.80665 m/s^2.But this is found in any CM book.It has to be something else...

Daniel.
