All objects on earth are pulled towards the center of the earth by gravity. The objects are pulled to the core(center of earth), but are not pulled through because of the normal force.

What causes an object to fall?
The mutual pair of equal forces between any two masses ... the result of gravity ... causes the Earth and any object on it to fall toward each other. The forces of gravity act along the line between the centers of the two objects, so an object attracted to the Earth will fall toward the center of the Earth. We call that direction "downward".
Do objects that fall toward Earth fall faster and faster?
They will fall faster and faster until friction slows the rate of descent.

Who proved that objects fall toward the earth at a constant acceleration regardless of their size?
It was first demonstrated by Galileo that objects fall toward the Earth with a constant acceleration, regardless of their size. He did this by means of experiments using various objects which were rolled down inclined planes. He did not, contrary to popular legend, drop various objects off the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
What makes an object free fall?
Because there are a pair of equal gravitational forces between every two masses, and they act along the line between the centers of the masses. The line between the center of the Earth and the center of you is the direction toward the ground, so that's where things fall toward when you let them go.

Is this statement true or false all objects fall toward the center of the earth?
Actually they don't they fall on towards Earths crust.
What part of the Earth do objects fall toward?
ThE centre or core
Why do objects fall towards the center of the earth?
Gravity

What is the direction that gravity causes objects to accelerate?
Free fall is caused when gravity pulls it toward earth
Do objects fall toward earth at a rate of 9.8 m because of centripetal force?
no because of acceleration

What is ther weight of earth?
The mass of the Earth is about 5.97 times 10 to the 24th power kilograms. The Earth has no weight, because it is orbiting in 'free fall' around the Sun. Like other objects in space, the Earth is weightless. Weight is measured as the force of gravity pulling an object toward a much larger object's center. (Like the center of the Earth, the center of the Moon, the center of Pluto, and so on)
