Want this question answered?
Gravity produces acceleration on an object, assuming that no other force acts on the object.
If one consider the mass and the radius of the Earth constant, then the gravity produces a constant acceleration. This is Newton's Theory about Universal Gravition.
Acceleration is expressed in meters/second2, not in meters. Normal Earth gravity produces an acceleration of 9.8 meters/second2.
No. Gravity is a property of matter that produces force. But there's no way a force is going to 'become' gravity, although a constant linear acceleration would be indistinguishable from gravity.
The term acceleration due to gravity refers to the effects of the earth's gravitational pull on the body. It would differ if one was to be measuring it on other planets such as the Moon, Jupiter or Pluto.

The period of a pendulum (in seconds) is 2(pi)√(L/g), where L is the length and g is the acceleration due to gravity. As acceleration due to gravity increases, the period decreases, so the smaller the acceleration due to gravity, the longer the period of the pendulum.

There is no unit of "gravity". Gravity is described in terms of its effects, namely acceleration and force. SI unit of force: [ newton ] = 1 kilogram-meter/second2 SI unit of acceleration: meter/second2

Yes it can, and if less force is needed if you eliminate the possibility of friction. You can find many examples of this, but i think this is an excellent opportunity to devise an experiment and practice your scientific methods.
Not at all. However Gravity can impart an acceleration - Gravitational acceleration.
Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.
The only way to produce "artificial gravity" (an imitation of gravity, you might say) is through acceleration. The effects are the same; an experiment won't notice the difference. Acceleration can be provided (a) by going faster and faster, (b) by slowing down, (c) by uniform rotation (an acceleration towards the center).
