The free fall acceleration of the earth is approximately related to the distance from the surface by the following formula.
g = GM/(R2 + h)
where G = universal gravitational constant, M = Mass of Earth, R = Radius of Earth, h = distance from the surface of the earth
g = 3.98 * 1014 / ( (6.0 * 106 )2+ h)
as h increases to a very low value near the surface of the earth the value of g can be approximately taken to be constant near the surface of the earth.
So the acceleration is constant near the surface of the earth.

What is constant for freely falling body?
Acceleration. A free-falling object falls at constant force, and thereby at constant acceleration.
Neglection air resistanceabnody falling freely near the earth surface?
Neglecting air resistance, a body falling freely near the earth's surface falls with an acceleration of 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second per second, regardless of how big, small, light, or heavy it is.
The acceleration of a body is opposite in direction to its velocity?
If that happens, the body's speed will decrease.
What happens when centripetal acceleration occurs?
The body which is subjected to centripetal acceleration undergoes uniform circular motion.
What happens to arterioles when the body temperature falls?
I have same question It happens a dilation of the arterioles.
What is constant for freely falling body?
Acceleration. A free-falling object falls at constant force, and thereby at constant acceleration.
What is freely body?
A freely body is the body which is freely falling under the force of gravity i.e. an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2
What is the direction of the acceleration of a freely falling body?
9.8 m/s2
If a body falls freely from infinity then it will be striking the earth with what velocity?
no
When an object falls what happens to its acceleration?
If gravity is the only force acting on a falling body, then its acceleration is constant until it hits the ground, and the number is 9.81 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 .
A body falls frreely what is constant?
The acceleration is constant in this case.
What is the effect of distance of freely falling body from the centre of earth on gravitational acceleration?
a nswer
What is the example where acceleration is in the direction of non-uniform motion?
Freely falling body is a good example
Neglection air resistanceabnody falling freely near the earth surface?
Neglecting air resistance, a body falling freely near the earth's surface falls with an acceleration of 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second per second, regardless of how big, small, light, or heavy it is.
On earth what equals 9.8 ms2?
Gravitational acceleration. It is actually 9.80665 m/s² (acccording to wikipedia). This means that, as a body falls freely under gravity on Earth, it will be accelerating constantly at a rate of 9.80665 m/s².
The acceleration of a body is opposite in direction to its velocity?
If that happens, the body's speed will decrease.
What happens when centripetal acceleration occurs?
The body which is subjected to centripetal acceleration undergoes uniform circular motion.
