Difference between g(acceleration due to gravity) and G(Universal gravitation constant). |
||
| Answer» Differences between acceleration due to (g)\xa0and Universal gas constant (G) are given below: | Acceleration due to gravity (g) | Universal gravitational constant (G) | \t\t\t1. Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration acquired by a body due to the earth\'s gravitational pull on it.1. The gravitational constant is numerically equal to the force of attraction between two masses of 1 kg that are separated by a distance of 1 m.2. Acceleration due to gravity (g) is a vector quantity.2. Universal gravitational constant (G) is a scalar quantity.3. It is different in different places on the surface of the earth. Its value also varies from one celestial body to another.3. The \'G\' is a universal constant, i.e., its value is the same (i.e. 6.7\xa0{tex}\\times{/tex}\xa010-11 Nm2 kg-2) everywhere in the universe.4. Its value depends upon the size and nature of the bodies.4. Its value does not depends upon the size and nature of the bodies.\t|
