Question: what is the acceleration of an object due to the force of gravity?
Answer: It was learned in the previous part of this lesson that a free-falling object is an object that is falling under the sole influence of gravity. A free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s, downward (on Earth). ... The numerical value for the acceleration of gravity is most accurately known as 9.8 m/s/s.
