Gravitational acceleration is the acceleration experienced by an object due to the gravitational force exerted by a massive body, such as a planet or a star. It is commonly denoted by the symbol \\( g \\). On the surface of the Earth, the average value of gravitational acceleration is approximately \\( 9.81 \\, \\text\{m/s\}^2 \\).
