  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000093",
  "term": "Acceleration of free fall",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The acceleration experienced by an object due to gravity alone, in a vacuum, near the Earth's surface. This value is approximately 9.80665 meters per second squared (m/s²), although it varies slightly with latitude and altitude. It is a fundamental constant used in physics and engineering calculations involving gravitational forces.",
