| I would omit g, as it is not a constant per se. That said, if you keep it, you should accept "Earth's gravity" and variants of that. Actually, "acceleration due to Earth's gravity" is a real misnomer, albeit a widely used one. g is not acceleration, although sometimes a body's acceleration happens to equal g. Physically, g is a particular value of a gravitational field -- namely the one a distance R(earth) from the center of a (roughly) spherically symmetric, (roughly) uniform mass distribution of total mass M(earth). It's always bugged me that so many physics textbooks call g an acceleration when it is patently misleading. |
