Where are you? If you're referring to acceleration due to Earth's gravity, it varies slightly.

9.8 m/s^2 is a good safe value.

If you want to be more general

a = Gm/r^2

where
G is the gravitational constant (6.6742 ± 0.0010 x 10^(-11) m^3 / (s^2 kg)
m is the mass of the body causing the acceleration
r is the distance to the mass
