What is meant by 'free fall' hence define acceleration due to gravity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The acceleration produced in a bottom due to the gravitational force of the earth is called acceleration due to gravity.
[NOTE: on the earth's surface, the value of the acceleration due to gravity is Almost uniform. If a bady falls from a low altitude, the value of the acceleration due gravity is almost the same. ]
