* In physics:
* Acceleration due to gravity: This is the most common meaning of "g". It's approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth's surface.
* Gravitational field strength: This is the force of gravity per unit mass.
* In mathematics:
* A variable: It can represent any unknown value.
* A function: It can be a mathematical function, like g(x) = x² + 1.
* In chemistry:
* Gram (g): A unit of mass.
* In other fields:
* G: It could refer to a specific person, company, or organization.
* g: It might be used as an abbreviation for something else, like "good".
