Answer

When an object falls freely towards the surface of earth from a certain height, then its velocity changes. This change in velocity produces acceleration in the object which is known as acceleration due to gravity denoted the letter $g .$ The value of acceleration due to gravity is $\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$.
