Why is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one third the acceleration due to gravity on earths surface?
Because the acceleration of gravity on the surface of any given body depends on the mass of the body and its radius ... the distance of the surface from the center. Mars' mass ... about 11% of Earth's ... and Mars' radius ... about 53% of Earth's ... combine to produce about 38% of Earth's gravitational acceleration at the surface of Mars.
When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
No, your weight is just the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity,
What happens to acceleration if the mass is increased and due to gravity?
The acceleration of an object due to gravity does not depend on the mass. Close to Earth's surface, this acceleration is about 9.8 meters per second per second.
What is the acceration due to gravity?
Near Earth's surface, the acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8 meters per square second.
What is the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface?
9.81 m/s2 gravity is dependant on the total mass of the two bodies, and the distance between their mass centers, and irrespective of any motion or rotation on earth, their would be a very small acceleration due to rotation about the earths axis (0 at the poles , maximum at the equator) , but this is a totally seperate issue
What is the surface gravity on earth?
The force of gravity on the earth is 9.8 m/s^2

What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?
earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons
When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
No, your weight is just the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity,
Why is acceleration due to gravity the same for all objets?
because all are measured at the same radius from the earths cog, if you doubled this distance, the acceleration would be only one quarter that of the surface
What is the percentage of the acceleration due to gravity between the surface?
its 13.6
What happens to acceleration if the mass is increased and due to gravity?
The acceleration of an object due to gravity does not depend on the mass. Close to Earth's surface, this acceleration is about 9.8 meters per second per second.
What is the acceration due to gravity?
Near Earth's surface, the acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8 meters per square second.
Is earth's gravity the same on the surface as it is in the center of the earth?
No. At the centre of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is ZERO
What is the acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface?
9.81 m/s2 gravity is dependant on the total mass of the two bodies, and the distance between their mass centers, and irrespective of any motion or rotation on earth, their would be a very small acceleration due to rotation about the earths axis (0 at the poles , maximum at the equator) , but this is a totally seperate issue
What is the gravitational acceleration of an object on the surface of the earth?
At or near the surface of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second per second
What is the importance of 9.81 in accelaration due to gravity?
9.81 is the acceleration due to the force of gravity experienced by bodies on or about the surface of the earth (nominally at sea level) the units are meters per second / per second, that is to say a stone dropped from a height will gain 9.81 m/s velocity for every second it falls (is in freefall) however , if you move from the earths surface , this figure will diminish, an example being : if you double your distance from the earths centre you will experience 1/4 of the acceleration (or force) you experienced at the surface
