How do you calculate acceleration of gravity?

Answer 1

Assume that air resistance is negligible. Equate the resultant force to the weight and then we get: #a=g#.

We can use the simplified version of Newton's Second Law, #F=ma#. This relates the resultant force acting on the object to its acceleration.

As air resistance is neglected the only force acting is the weight, so #F=w#.

#w=mg#, where #g# is the gravitational field strength #9.8 Nkg^-1#.

#F=mg#, now use Newton's Second Law: #ma=mg#. The mass is the same on both sides of the equation: #⇒a=g=9.8 ms^-2#

The acceleration due to gravity (g) can be calculated using the formula:

[ g = \dfrac{F}{m} ]

Where:

( g ) is the acceleration due to gravity,
( F ) is the gravitational force acting on an object,
( m ) is the mass of the object.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
