Here's why:
* Gravity pulls objects towards the Earth's center.
* Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes.
* The acceleration due to gravity is the rate at which an object's velocity changes as it falls towards the Earth due to gravity.
Important notes:
* This value is an average and can vary slightly depending on factors like altitude and latitude.
* The symbol for acceleration due to gravity is often g.
* In some contexts, the value of 9.8 m/s² may be rounded to 10 m/s² for simplicity.
