How strong is the gravitational force on earth?

Answer 1

The force that the planet Earth applies on an object(the force is also called weight) depends on the mass of the object. It is not constant. The formula is:

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Acceleration due to gravity has a constant value on Earth: 9.81 m s-2

However, it is not constant everywhere in the universe. It depends on the planet you are on. Mass, however, is constant.

Answer 2

Gravity causes force that pulls every two masses together.

It's the force of gravity between the sun and earth that keeps the earth

in orbit around the sun. Same goes for the other planets.

The force of gravity is also what holds you on the earth.

Gravity is everywhere, and you see the effects wherever there are two masses.

When the earth is one of the masses, the force of gravity between them is about

2.2 pounds for every kilogram of mass in the other one. If the other mass is you,

then you have a special name for the gravitational force. You call it your 'weight'.

The force is the same in both directions ... the earth is also pulled toward you with

a force equal to your weight.

The acceleration of gravity on or near the earth's surface is 9.8 meters per second2.

Answer 3

Gravity on Earth's surface gives an acceleration of 9.81 m per s per s (or 32 feet per S per S), so any mass at the Earth's surface will feel a force sufficient to accelerate it that much. Gravity is a result of earth's mass which has been fairly constant. The amount of force of this gravity is referred to as 1 "G" but there is no rate property.

Answer 4

The gravitational force on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, varying slightly depending on altitude and location on Earth. This force is what gives objects weight and keeps them anchored to the surface of the planet.

Answer 5

roughly 9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to the force of gravity.

Answer 6

Gravitational acceleration near the surface is 9,81 m/s^2. A little less than the maximum Ferari acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h, and 1/28th of the sun's gravitation.

Answer 7

9.8m/s/s (meters per second per second) Gravity is an acceleration vector. Like all acceleration vectors, the unit is meters per second squared. The direction of acceleration is always down.

Answer 8

Earth's gravity is 9.8 m/s² at the surface.

Answer 9

It is actually Gravitational Acceleration.

The gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 ~ 10 m/s^2
