Define the term acceleration due to gravity. State its average value.
What do you understand by the term acceleration due to gravity?

उत्तर
When a body falls freely under gravity, the acceleration produced in the body due to the Earth's gravitational acceleration is called the acceleration due to gravity. It is represented by ‘g’. The average value of g is 9.8 m/s2.

Assertion: The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or direction or both of them.
Reason: Acceleration can be produced only by change in magnitude of the velocity. It does not depend the direction.
