Earth’s Acceleration Due to Gravity
Words: 523 1241Gravity on Earth, which is about 9.81 meters per second squared (m/s²), is a big deal in physics. It’s the reason an apple falls from a tree and why satellites orbit around us. This number, known as , tells us how quickly things speed up as they drop towards Earth when nothing else is pushing or pulling them. So, what’s the deal with gravity? Isaac Newton figured it out.
