Standing at surface radius its = 9.82 (m/s)/s

but double the radius and the acceleration drops to 9.82 / ((2 / 1)2) = 2.455 (m/s)/s

Why is gravitational acceleration 9.8 m per sec?

Because the Earths' mass demands it be so.


What is the gravitational force on any object near the earths surface?

Force (newtons) = mass (kg) * acceleration (m/s/s) > Acceleration at earths surface radius = 9.82 m/s/s


What is the difference between gravitational acceleration and acceleration?

Gravitational acceleration is simply acceleration due to gravity.


What is the gravitation pull on Ceres the Dwarf Planet?

The gravitational pull on Ceres, the largest asteroid in the asteroid belt and classified as a dwarf planet, is much weaker than Earth's. Ceres has a gravitational acceleration of about 0.28 m/s² at its surface, which is about 6% of Earth's gravitational acceleration.


Is gravitational pull the same as gravitational acceleration?

No. "Pull" is a force, not an acceleration.


Are inertial and gravitational acceleration equal?

No, inertial and gravitational acceleration are not equal. Inertial acceleration is caused by changes in velocity due to forces acting on an object, while gravitational acceleration is caused by the force of gravity on an object due to its mass.


When acceleration upward or downward direction is taken positivw or negative?

If it is gravitational acceleration then it it is positive in downward and negative in upward direction..if it is not gravitational acceleration then it is depending upon the value of acceleration.


Magnitude of gravitational acceleration on mercury?

Mercury's acceleration of gravity in m/s^2 is 3.59


Can you calculate gravitational acceleration witn only having the time and the mass of the object?

Gravitational acceleration is always g = 9.8


Explain why the gravitational acceleration of any object near the Earth is the same no matter what the mass of the object is?

Strictly speaking its not the same . This equation calculates the acceleration: acceleration = ( G * ( m1 + m2 ) ) / d2 where: G = newtons gravity constant m1 = earths mass (kg) m2 = objects mass (kg) d = distance between centres of gravity (metres) The earths mass is so large however, only a significantly large object mass would make a real difference to the acceleration.


Can gravitational acceleration be reduced artificially?

No. Gravitational Acceleration is a constant and is a function of mass. The effects of the constant upon another mass can be altered but the acceleration itself will remain the same.


Where do you experience more gravity on earths surface or earths center?

on the surfaceNote:Since the earth's composition is not homogeneous, the gravitational acceleration onthe surface is probably less than what it is some small distance below the surface,but it's certainly greater than at the center.
