Answer: C
The gravity acceleration is in the same direction as the force of gravity, and thus toward the center of the earth.

Explanation:
All celestial bodies in our solar system experience forces between each other. On earth, the localized gravitational force in the earth's atmosphere is directed toward the center of the earth. It's magnitude is
32.174 ft/s² in English units,
9.807 m/s² in SI units.

All objects that have mass are subject to the earth's gravitational acceleration. The product of mass and the earth's gravitational acceleration defines the weight of an object as its gravitational force.

What is the SI unit for kinetic energy
trapecia [35]
The easiest way to build a unit for energy is to remember that
'work' is energy, and  
                                       Work = (force) x (distance).

So energy is                   (unit of force) x (unit of distance)

                   [Energy]  =       (Newton)            (meter) .

'Newton' itself is a combination of base units, so
energy is really
                             (kilogram-meter/sec²)      (meter)

                       =           kilogram-meter² / sec² .

That unit is so complicated that it's been given a special,
shorter name:
                                       Joule .

It doesn't matter what kind of energy you're talking about.
Kinetic, potential, nuclear, electromagnetic, food, chemical,
muscle, wind, solar, steam ... they all boil down to Joules.

And if you generate, use, transfer, or consume 1 Joule of
energy every second, then we say that the 'power' is '1 watt'.
