Acceleration due to gravity is the rate at which an object falls towards the Earth due to the force of gravity. It is denoted by the symbol "g" and has a constant value of approximately 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s^2).
The factors that affect acceleration due to gravity are the mass of the object and the distance between the object and the center of the Earth. The greater the mass, the greater the force of gravity and therefore, the greater the acceleration. The closer an object is to the center of the Earth, the stronger the force of gravity and the greater the acceleration.
Acceleration due to gravity can be measured using a variety of methods, such as dropping a ball from a certain height and measuring the time it takes to hit the ground, or using a device called an accelerometer which measures the acceleration of an object.
Acceleration due to gravity is the rate at which an object falls towards the Earth, while gravitational force is the force of attraction between two objects due to their masses. Acceleration due to gravity is a result of gravitational force acting upon an object.
Yes, acceleration due to gravity varies on different planets depending on their mass and radius. For example, the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is approximately 3.71 m/s^2, while on Jupiter it is approximately 24.79 m/s^2. This is because these planets have different masses and radii compared to Earth.
