Acceleration Due to Gravity


Acceleration due to gravity is the rate at which an object speeds up as it falls freely toward the Earth due to the force of gravity. It is represented by the symbol ‘g’, and its standard value on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s². This means that for every second an object is in free fall, its velocity increases by 9.8 meters per second.


The SI unit of acceleration due to gravity is meters per second squared (m/s²). This unit expresses how quickly an object’s velocity changes while falling under the influence of gravity.


The value of g can vary slightly based on location — it is a bit lower at the equator and higher at the poles due to Earth's shape and rotation.


This concept is fundamental in understanding free fall, projectile motion, and satellite orbits, making it an essential part of physics and real-world applications.


Attometer and Square Attometer – A Short Note


An attometer (symbol: am) is an extremely small unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to:


1 attometer = 10⁻¹⁸ meters


This unit is rarely used in practice because it is much smaller than the size of atoms and subatomic particles. It is typically used in theoretical physics or quantum mechanics to describe incredibly tiny distances, such as those between particles or within nuclear structures.


A square attometer (symbol: am²) is a unit of area, representing a square with sides one attometer in length. It is defined as:


1 am² = (10⁻¹⁸ m) × (10⁻¹⁸ m) = 10⁻³⁶ m²


This is an extraordinarily small area and is almost never used in practical measurements.


In summary:



  • Attometer (am) measures ultra-small lengths



  • Square attometer (am²) measures ultra-small areas



  • Used mainly in advanced scientific theories and quantum-scale physics.
