What do you mean by acceleration due to gravity?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In free fall, three is no change in the direction of objects. But the magnitude of velocity of falling objects goes on increasing. It means acceleration is produced in a body in free fall. This acceleration is called acceleration due to gravity.We may define acceleration due to gravity as the acceleration produced in free fall due to gravitational forced of Earth on the body.
