  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011279",
  "term": "Standard acceleration of free fall",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The nominal value of the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface, adopted as a standard for scientific and engineering purposes. This value is used in many calculations where the local gravitational acceleration is not precisely known or when a conventional value is sufficient. It is defined as 9.80665 meters per second squared.",
