What do you mean by acceleration due to gravity?
(N/A) When an object falls towards the ground from a height,its velocity changes during the fall. This change in velocity produces acceleration in the object. This acceleration is known as acceleration due to gravity,denoted by $g$. Its standard value on the surface of the Earth is approximately $9.8 \, m/s^2$.
