Now lets start learning with acceleration due to gravity. Let me first define acceleration.
Acceleration is the rate of change of Velocity over time, and this may be of increase in velocity, decrease in velocity or constant.
The increase in speed or velocity is known as Acceleration, the decrease in acceleration is said as Negative acceleration, and if the velocity of a body changes equal amounts in equal time periods then it is said to uniform acceleration.
The acceleration caused by the gravitational attraction of massive bodies in general is said to be known as acceleration due to gravity and the, the value of Earth’s Gravitational acceleration at sea level (9.81 m/s2) Simple example to this is a fruit falling from the tree.
Acceleration due to gravity formula is given as: g = GM / (R + h) 2
M= mass of the gravitating body R= radius of the body
H= height above the surface
G= gravitational constant 9.80665 m/s2 or (32.1740 ft/s2) or (= 6.6742 × 10-11 N•m2/kg2)
If the falling object is at, or very nearly at, the surface of the gravitating body, then the above equation reduces to: g = GM / R 2.
This is all about Acceleration due to Gravity. I hope now you are quite learner on acceleration. If you need any further information on this post it here.
