Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the value of gravitational acceleration (g) at the surface of the Earth?
Correct Answer: 9.81 m/s²
  • Step 1: Understand that gravitational acceleration (g) is the force of gravity acting on an object at the surface of the Earth.
  • Step 2: Know that the standard value of gravitational acceleration is a commonly accepted number used in physics.
  • Step 3: Remember that this value is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared (m/s²).
  • Step 4: Recognize that this means for every second an object falls, its speed increases by about 9.81 m/s.
