Acceleration due to gravity

Acceleration due to gravity

Acceleration due to gravity can refer to:

*Gravitational acceleration, the acceleration due to the gravitational attraction of massive bodies, in particular that due to the Earth's gravity
*Standard gravity, or "g", the standard value of Earth's gravitational acceleration at sea level, 9.806 metres per second per second.
*G-force, a measure of apparent gravity caused by acceleration, whose units are based on the strength of standard gravity.
