Answer: (a) Due to the gravitational force of attraction, earth pulls other objects towards itself. The acceleration produced in a body due to the gravitational attraction of the earth is known as the acceleration due to gravity.

(b) The calculated value of acceleration due to the gravity of the earth is 9.8 m/s2.

(c) SI unit of acceleration due to gravity is the same as of the normal acceleration i.e. m/s2.

(Q. no. 37 to 39 are case-based/data-based questions with 2 to 3 short sub-parts. internal choice is provide in one of these sub-parts) 37. Swati studied that a chemical bond is an attractive force that holds the atoms together in a molecule or a compound. She also learns about the element carbon which is known to have the unique ability to form bonds with other similar atoms or atoms of other elements. The carbon-carbon bond is also known to be very strong and hence stable. (a) Which type of chemical bond is formed between carbon-carbon atoms. How is this bond formed. (b) Which characteristics of carbon are responsible to form maximum number of compounds. Or How does carbon attain a stable electronic configuration?
