Well, first let's look at what gravity is. If we consider "gravity" as gravitational force, then force=mass x acceleration, and mass x gravity does NOT equal acceleration. Acceleration is the change of velocity, so an object could accelerate without being affected by gravity, maybe just another force, like jet engines or something. Basically, no.

Is the acceleration of an object proportional to its weight?
If you meant to say mass instead of weight, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to mass, because F=ma. However for falling objects where acceleration is equal to gravity, the weight is not a variable.
What four laws is sir isaac newton's most famous for?
Inertia Force=Mass times acceleration For every action their is an equal and opposite reaction All objects are attracted to one another via gravity.
What is the effect of acceleration on an object which is not moving?
An object which is not moving is not experiencing any acceleration, other than the acceleration due to gravity, which, along with mass gives it its weight. The upward force (normal force) acting on the object is equal to but opposite to its weight, and all of the forces acting on the objects are in equilibrium so the net force is zero Newtons.
What is the magnitude of the tension in the cord?
Tension = mass(acceleration) + force of gravity Force of gravity equals mass times gravity (9.8m/s2)
How is weight related to gravitational force?
Weight = Mass * Acceleration of gravity. Weight = force of gravity on particular object. Weight = force of gravity on an object; Gravity = attracts all objects toward each other
Is the acceleration of an object proportional to its weight?
If you meant to say mass instead of weight, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to mass, because F=ma. However for falling objects where acceleration is equal to gravity, the weight is not a variable.
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
How is the gravitational force FG related to the distance between objects?
Fg is equal to mass times acceleration. While the mass of the object does not change, acceleration (gravity) increases the more the object falls to the ground.
Is the acceleration cause by the gravity constant?
acceleration caused by gravity is not the same because it varies from the mass and the distance betwwen the two objects
The weight of an object varies with the force with which gravity pulls on it?
Weight of an object depends on the objects mass and the acceleration due to gravity... Weight=mxg where m = mass g=acceleration due to gravity on earth, acceleration due to gravity = approx 9.81m/s2
Sentence describing gravity and weight?
Weight is a force equal to the product of an object's mass and gravity. Gravity in this context is not a force but an acceleration. Near the Earth's surface, that acceleration is 9.8 m/s², regardless of the mass.
What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?
The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.
A brick has a greater mass than a sponge has why is the acceleration due to the gravity the same for both objects?
The acceleration due to gravity does not depend on the mass. For example, if you have two objects, one of which has 10 times the mass of another, it will be attracted with 10 times the force; however, it will also have 10 times the inertia, so the acceleration will be the same.
What is the Effect of increasing the object's mass of the acceleration due to gravity?
On earth, the mass of an object has no effect whatsoever on its acceleration due to the force of gravity. All objects fall with the same acceleration, regardless of their mass. Any observed difference is due entirely to air resistance.
If objects are larger what is the effect of gravity?
Gravity affects objects based on mass. Fgravity = mg (force due to gravity is equal to mass times gravitational consant (9.806m/s2)).
Why does gravity make falling objects fall faster?
By Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration, or acceleration = force / mass. Since there is a force, there should be an acceleration - a change of velocity.
How much do I weight?
mass times the acceleration due to gravity
