Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth? (2018)
  • Step 1: Understand that gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the Earth.
  • Step 2: Know that the strength of this force is measured as acceleration.
  • Step 3: The standard value for this acceleration on Earth's surface is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared (m/s²).
  • Step 4: This means that for every second an object falls, its speed increases by about 9.81 meters per second.
