    Study Notes

    9.8 m/s2 is the acceleration due to gravity, which is the acceleration gained by an object due to gravitational force. This value is constant and does not depend on the mass of the object. The acceleration due to gravity is a vector quantity, which has both magnitude and direction. It is represented by the constant g, and its standard value on the surface of the Earth at sea level is 9.8 m/s2[4
