When falling to the ground (or even just in the air), the acceleration of an object depends on the gravitational pull of the object it is falling towards. Here on earth, all things fall relative to the earth which causes an acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2

Does the weight of an object affect how fast it will fall?
No. Weight has nothing to do with how fast objects fall, except for things that get in the way, like air, it's all gravity.Related Information:The phenomenon of falling is caused by the gravity of at least two objects, like a stone and the Earth, mutually attracting one another. For objects falling to Earth, there is the added negative force of drag (the resistance of air friction working against gravity). Drag acts to slow the rate of fall of any object that it acts upon. Objects of lesser density, or poor aerodynamic qualities, are affected more than objects of greater density or excellent aerodynamic qualities. Drag can be virtually eliminated readily, by allowing objects to fall in a vacuum chamber where feathers, dust bunnies, and bowling balls fall at the same rate.
How fast is the acceleration of a falling body?
if body is free falling state its acceleration would be 9.8meter/second2
What force stops a parachute from falling too fast?
drag
How fast do objects accelerate due to gravity?
On Earth 9.81metres/second^2
How fast does gravity accelerate objects on Earth's surface?
It is approx 9.81 metres per second-squared.
How do saterlites orbit?
Artificial or natural; they're falling. One definition of flying is to throw yourself at the ground and miss. All these objects are doing just that. (including the Earth in its path around the sun) As an example: you know that the Earth is curved. You fall towards it due to gravity. If you move fast enough (to orbit) then you have to move fast enough so that the surface of the planet falls away AS FAST AS you are falling due to its gravity.
How are humans able to accelerate?
A.) They accelerate by there bones and your heart. If your heart is fast you will be fast, if your heart is slow you will go slow.
How fast did Curiosity accelerate to get to Mars?
Really fast
How fast do objects falll?
Objects accelerate as they fall. Their speed increases at a rate of 9.81 m/s2 on or near the Earth's surface. So, after falling for one second, an object (in a vacuum) will be moving 9.81 m/s, or roughly 32 ft/s. This is, at least, the theoretical speed. This seems like a very fast number, and it is, because a number of factors have been ignored. Real objects displace air as they fall (causing turbulent and viscous flow), which slow them. The amount of air displaced and how much this effects the object depends on the object's shape and density. For example, a crumpled sheet of paper falls faster than a new sheet, and a bird's feather falls more slowly than a lead feather. Also, if an object falls 1m (about 3ft) to the ground, it will be moving at about 4m/s (~13ft/s) when it hits the ground.
What is a scientific word for fast?
acceleration
Why dont heavy objects fall faster than light ones?
-- Gravity pulls harder on objects with more mass than it does on objects with less mass. -- But objects with more mass need more force on them to accelerate as fast as objects with less mass. -- So it all balances out . . . no matter how much mass an object has, every object on Earth falls with the same acceleration.
How to go fast in a go kart?
Accelerate around the corners
How fast can the average car accelerate in 1500 feet?
45mph
How do things fall in outer space?
They are not actually falling. They are moving at very fast speeds relative to other objects. They are also being attracted or "nudged by much larger object by gravity. They don't - falling is only done in relation to another body
How fast can the smart car accelerate?
0 to 87 in about 12 seconds
