The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on Earth's surface is approximately ________ m/s².
- 8.9
- 9.8
- 10.2
- 11.0
Answer: 9.8
Standard gravity (g) is 9.8 m/s², varying slightly with altitude and latitude. It's derived from Newton's law of gravitation (g = GM/R²). Essential for mechanics problems in physics. [[NCERT Physics Class 11]]
