When the only force on an object is the force of gravity,we say that the object is in "free fall".
The force of gravity on object can differ because of its slope. An object can pick up quick acceleration at a steep slope due to the force of gravity than normal slopes. We say that gravity is force of attraction between the body and the surface of the earth. at a slope gravity attracts the object to itself. The gravitational force is 9.8N. when gravity attracts the object to itself than for sure the object will gain acceleration but the acceleration rate of the object will differ by the slope that it has been pulled.
The force of gravity depends on the masses involved. Weight is a force ascribed to gravity.
Weight is determined by mass x acceleration due to gravity. The mass of an object doesn't change; however, the acceleration due to gravity varies depending on the distance from the center of an object. A person weighs less on the top of a mountain than at the bottom of a valley. Gravity depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.

With a fixed mass, if you say double the acceleration due to gravity, you would have to double the force to overcome friction.

The force due to gravity diminishes the further you get from the centre of the earths mass. if you say double your distance from the earths centre, the force on you is quartered. the official equation for force between two masses is , . f = ((G * m1 * m2) / d^2) G = newtons gravitational constant m1 = mass 1 ( say earth) m2 = mass 2 ( say you) d = distance between centres of gravity
gravity provides pretty much the same force on a given mass anywhere on earths surface, due to its mass only and irrespective of earth spin. example: say your 70 kg mass at equator (where centripal action is greatest) force due to gravity : f = (G*m1*m2)/d^2 = 687.4 newtons force due to centripetal action at equator : f = mass * (v^2/r)= 70*0.034 = 2.38 newtons
That force is gravity.

No. Kepler proposed that some force kept the planets in orbit, but did not know or say what that force was. It was Isaac Newton who figured out that this force is gravity.
That would be the gravitic force, or you could say 'the force of gravity'.
No. Let's take Earth as a good example to start with. Let's say you look at the force of gravity of Pluto if it were twice as far from the Sun as Earth is. The force of gravity would be 2x2 = 4 times weaker. Move Pluto away from Sun twice that distance, and the force of gravity would be another 4 times weaker. Move Pluto away from the Sun another 2 times its previous distance, and the force of gravity between it and the Sun would be yet another 4 times weaker. And so on, until you reach a point in space where Pluto is really, actually positioned.
