about 9.795m/s2 but
9.8m/s2 is almost always used.
Note: centripetal acceleration (from the earth's spin) cause apparent gravity to be about 0.3% less than actual gravity (about 9.767m/s2) at the equator
you can find the acceleration of gravity on any planet by the equation:
a=G(M/R2) where 'a' is the acceleration due to gravity, G is the gravitational constant (about .0000000000667), M is the mass of the earth ( or other planet), and R is the radius of the earth (or other planet)

What is Saturn's value for acceleration due to gravity?
Acceleration due to gravity on Saturn = 11.171 m/s2 (9.807 m/s2 on Earth)
What is the value of acceleration due to gravity in space?
The magnitude of acceleration due to gravity depends on the mass of the object toward which you're attracted by gravity, and on your distance from it. There are trillions of different possibilities in space.
Why is the weight of an object different on Earth and the moon even though the object's mass is the same in both places?
Weight depends on acceleration due to gravity and similarly acceleration due gravity depends on force of gravity. The force of gravity of moon is 6times less than that of earth and due to this their is variation in acceleration due to gravith between the earth and the moon. As there is difference in acceleration due to gravity between the earth and moon, the magnitude of weight also vary . And next most important thing to keep on mind is that mass is independent of gravity so it does not change anywhere ....
Is acceleration the same in moon and in earth?
No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.
What is acceleration due to the gravity of the earth?
9.8m/s2 (9.8 meters a second per second)
Where is acceleration due to gravity greater?
It is greater at poles than at equator.
Why would an object way less at the equator than at the poles?
Not for sure but it seems like there would be more gravity at the equator than at the poles. The earth rotates and creates a centrifugal acceleration at the equator the counters the force of gravity. acceleration due to gravity =GM/R2 acceleration due to rotation =V2/R So gravity at the equator is GM/R2 - V2/R
Acceleration of free fall due to gravity?
The acceleration due to gravity at sea level at the equator is 32.25744 feet/second2 (983.2186 cm/second2)Formula for your own altitude:Acceleration Due to Gravity (cm/s2) at Altitude (h) = Acceleration Due to Gravity (cm/s2) at Sea Level - 0.3086hwhere h is the altitude in kilometers.
What is equivalent of acceleration due to gravity?
acceleration due to gravity of earth is 9.8ms-2
Does gravity have a stronger pull at the eatrh poles then it does on the equator?
no, but the electromagnetic field of the earth does.
What is accileration due to gravity on earth?
Acceleration due to gravityThe acceleration produced in the motion of a body under gravity is called Acceleration.
What is the acceleration for the pull of gravity?
If you mean acceleration due to gravity it is ~9.8m/s2
What is the definition of acceleration due to gravity?
Gravity acceleration g=GM/r2.
What is acceleration due to gravity called?
Acceleration due to gravity means the force due to weight of an object which increases due to the gravitational pull of the earth.
What force that can change when acceleration due to gravity changes?
I suppose you are asking about what forces change when acceleration due to gravity changes. In this case, the formula for forces concerning acceleration due to gravity is as such: fg=mg. When acceleration due to gravity(g) changes, it affects the force of gravity which is also known as the weight of the object. This is shown as fg.
What are the effects of acceleration due to gravity on the time period of a pendulum?
The period of a pendulum (in seconds) is 2(pi)√(L/g), where L is the length and g is the acceleration due to gravity. As acceleration due to gravity increases, the period decreases, so the smaller the acceleration due to gravity, the longer the period of the pendulum.
How is the acceleration of an object in free-fall related to the acceleration due to gravity?
The acceleration in free fall IS the acceleration due to gravity, since "free fall" is the assumption that no forces other than gravity act on the object.
