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

How does Acceleration relate to gravity?
Not at all. However Gravity can impart an acceleration - Gravitational acceleration.
Gravitational potential energy depends on what 3 variables?
height gravitational acceleration and mass
is a function of and varieties with gravity?
The answer could be gravitational acceleration.
How do you describe weight?
Weight = Mass x gravitational acceleration.
What is gravitational accelleration?
gravitational acceleration is the acceleration due to the force of gravity (your weight). Newton's second law is F = ma, as this can be rewritten for Weight (the gravitational force) as W = mg where g is the gravitational acceleration. On Earth g = 9.81 m/s/s. If you traveled to a different planet it would change as the force of gravity would be different thus the gravitational acceleration would be different (on the moon it is 1.6 m/s/s on mars 4 m/s/s on Jupiter 25 m/s/s)
What is the difference between gravitational acceleration and acceleration?
Gravitational acceleration is simply acceleration due to gravity.
Is gravitational pull the same as gravitational acceleration?
No. "Pull" is a force, not an acceleration.
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.
How does Acceleration relate to gravity?
Not at all. However Gravity can impart an acceleration - Gravitational acceleration.
Can you calculate gravitational acceleration witn only having the time and the mass of the object?
Gravitational acceleration is always g = 9.8
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.
What is the relation connecting acceleration and gravitational force?
The same as the relation between acceleration and any other force. Force = (mass) x (acceleration) If the force happens to be gravitational, then the acceleration is down, and the formula tells you the size of the acceleration. If the acceleration is down and there are no rocket engines strapped to the object, then it's a pretty safe bet that the force is gravitational, and the formula tells you the size of the force.
What is the planet earth's gravitational force?
This can be measured by the acceleration due to gravity at the surface. Earth's surface gravitational acceleration is about 9.8 m/s2
Does the weight of the stones affect the gravitational acceleration?
No.
How is gravitational force and mass related?
Gravitational force F = mass x g where g is the gravitational acceleration.
Gravitational potential energy depends on what 3 variables?
height gravitational acceleration and mass
What determines the size of gravitational force?
The mass of the object the force is acting on, and the gravitational acceleration where the force is acting. F = m*g, where F is the gravitational force, m is the mass of the object and g is the gravitational acceleration (on Earth it is about 9.81ms-2)
