In a computational model of energy changes experienced by an object in free fall, the value of 9.8 appears in several of the formulas. What does this value represent?(1 point) the mass of the object the the initial potential energy of the object the initial kinetic energy of the object the the acceleration due to gravity
The value of 9.8 in the computational model of energy changes experienced by an object in free fall represents the acceleration due to gravity. This value is usually denoted by the symbol g and is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²). The force of gravity causes all objects near the Earth's surface to accelerate downwards at this rate when they are in free fall, provided that air resistance is negligible.
