The farther away from an object on gets, the less powerful the gravitational pull by that object is. As one moves upward from the surface of the earth, the earth's gravitational pull has less of an effect. Since acceleration due to gravity is negative (-9.8 m/s2), the acceleration due to gravity will increase (the acceleration would decrease if you are considering falling down towards the earth to be positive, not negative velocity). This means that the object will not fall as fast, or that of the object is traveling upwards, it will not slow down as rapidly.
The acceleration of gravity at its surface is currently estimated as 0.4 m/s2 .That's about 4% of the acceleration of gravity on the Earth's surface.
No. At the centre of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is ZERO
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.
Gravity on the surface of Earth is equivalent to acceleration of 9.8 meters per second2 .
The acceleration due to gravity on or near the Earth's surface is about 9.81 meters per second2 . The forces of gravity between the Earth and a mass on or near the surface are 9.81 newtons per kilogram in each direction.
The acceleration of gravity at the 'surface' of Jupiter is 2.639 times its value at the Earth's surface.
On the surface of Venus, the acceleration of gravity, and therefore the weight of any object, is 90.3 percent of what it is on the surface of Earth.
At or near the surface of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second per second
The force of gravity on the earth is 9.8 m/s^2
The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Mars is approximately 3.7 m/s2. Earth's acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 on average. The force that gravity would exert on an object is dependent on its mass.
The acceleration of gravity ... and therefor the weight of any object ... on thesurface of Mercury is 37.698% of its value on the surface of Earth. (rounded)
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mars, and therefore the weightof any object placed there, is 37.95% of its value on the Earth's surface.
