Yes. All masses large and small, at the same location, exhibit the same acceleration of gravity.

What is mass multiplied by gravity?
Force or weight Force= mass X acceleration gravity is an acceleration (9.8m/s2) Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity
Who is galilei in physics?
Galileo Galilei. Perhaps his most important discovery was finding that acceleration due to gravity is independent of the objects mass.
What is the difference between uniform acceleration and constant acceleration?
Gravitational acceleration is defined as the acceleration of an object caused by the force of gravitation, where all small bodies accelerate in a gravitational field at the same rate relative to the center of mass. Uniform linear acceleration is when a body moves in a straight line and accelerates at a constant rate, and the body is said to have a uniformly accelerated linear motion.
What is the weight if the object has 166.2 mass?
Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity mass has to be in kg and acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2
Is gravity the same as weight?
Gravity is not the same as weight. Using the MKS unit system, gravity is a constant of acceleration (9.8m/s2) while weight is a Force in Newtons which can be calculated using: Fweight = mass*acceleration where mass is in kilograms and acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity.
How can you say that mass of a body remians uniform everywhere?
Mass is genarally of two types. Inertial Mass and Gravitational Mass. Einstein prooved both are equal. inertial mass is m= Force/acceleration gravitational mass is m= Wieght/acceleration due to gravity. How can you measure mass of apple in absence of gravity(Say somewhere in free space or imagine on any planet whose gravity is almost NIL). Remember that Mass is NOT weight. Mass is different and Weight. Weight is NOT the direct measurement of Mass. You have to devide 'weight' by the acceleration due to gravity of any place(what we call g). Free space is weightless. No balance can work there.
Is the acceleration due to gravity dependent on the mass of an object?
yes the less mass it has the more acceleration.
How do you calculate mass if you are only given weight in Newtons?
Weight = (mass) x (local acceleration of gravity). Mass = (weight) / (local acceleration of gravity) If you know the weight and the local acceleration of gravity, you can calculate the mass. Anywhere on or near the surface of the earth, the local acceleration of gravity is about 9.82 meters per second2 . As an example, an object with a weight of 9.82 newtons has a mass of one kilogram.
How gravity affect weight?
Gravity impacts weight because weight is calculated using F = M * A. F - Weight in this case M - Mass of your object A - Acceleration of gravity on the planet the object is on. Assuming mass remains constant and your acceleration (your gravity) increases, weight will increase. If acceleration (your gravity) decreases, weight will decrease.
Does mass of an object change depending on where it is?
No, the mass of an object is independent of where it is. The mass does not change. However, the weight (that is the product of mass and gravity acceleration) changes by change of the gravity. For example, the gravity on the moon is 1/6th that on earth. so, the object weight on the moon is 1/6th the same object weight on earth.
What is the conversion of mass to weight?
To get the weight, multiply the mass by the acceleration of gravity wherever the mass happens to be at the moment. Dependoing on local acceleration of gravity, the weight changes from place to place.
Is the measure of the force of gravity on an object's mass?
No. Mass, as a quantity, is independent of gravity.
