The acceleration which is gained by an object because of gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity. Its SI unit is m/s2. Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth is represented by the letter g. It has a standard value defined as 9.80665 m/s2 (32.1740 ft/s2).[1] However, the actual acceleration of a body in free fall varies with location.
