The average acceleration caused by gravity per second is____________?
Correct answer: B. 32 feet
- A. 22 feet
- B. 32 feet
- C. 52 feet
- D. 42 feet
Explanation
Near Earth's surface, gravitational acceleration is approximately 9.8 m/s², or 32 ft/s². Thus the intended option is 32 feet, although the option omits the required per-second-squared unit.
