Question:

What is the value of g? (g stands for acceleration due to gravitational force of the earth)

Options:

5.2 m/s2

9.8 m/s2

7.8 m/s2

6.7 m/s2

Correct Answer:

9.8 m/s2

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. 9.8 m/s2.

The value of \( g \), which represents the acceleration due to gravitational force of the Earth, is approximately \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

The acceleration due to gravity (\( g \)) is a constant value that represents the acceleration experienced by objects due to the gravitational pull of the Earth.

Near the surface of the Earth, this value is approximately \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

This means that every second, an object in free fall near the surface of the Earth will increase its velocity by \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s} \) due to the gravitational attraction of the Earth.

This value can vary slightly depending on factors such as altitude, latitude, and local geology, but for most practical purposes, \( g \) is taken to be \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).
