What do you mean by acceleration due to gravity?
Advertisements
उत्तर
- When an object falls towards the ground from a height, then its velocity changes during the fall.
- This changing velocity produces acceleration in the object.
- This acceleration is known as acceleration due to gravity. Its value is given by 9.8 m/s2.
