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 accelleration?
Acceleration is a change in velocity.
What is the accelleration due to gravity?
16 ft./sec./sec.
If velocity is constant then what is the true accelleration?
In a theoretical scenario with constant velocity, the true acceleration would typically be zero.
Is gravitational potential energy is the same gravitational force?
No. Gravitational force is the pull an object experience from gravity. Gravitational energy is the energy an object has from its position in a gravitational field. An object moving up in a gravitational field gains gravitational energy.
The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is what energy?
Gravitational energy Potential energy
How many kilo-Newtons equals 1000 kilogram?
When the 1000 kg are at rest, on Earth with gravitational accelleration 9.81 m/s2, 1000 kg equal 9.81 kN
What is accelleration?
Acceleration is a change in velocity.
Does an object in free fall have accelleration?
Yes.
What is retardation in physics?
Retardation is the application of a force that produces negative accelleration. Synonyms would be braking, decelleration, damping, etc. Gravitational force operates downward (in a negative direction) so, in most frames of reference, gravity is a retarding force.
Does accelleration have anything to do with gravity?
acceleration has everything to do with gravity
What is the difference between pound-mass and pound-force?
Local accelleration or gravitation creates force. Mass remains constant despite presence or absence of accelleration or gravity.
Is acceleration constant or does it change?
Going back to the equation F=m·a you can see that if the force changes but the mass does not, accelleration will change as well. If mass and force do not change, accelleration will be constant.
What is the accelleration due to gravity?
16 ft./sec./sec.
What is the accelleration of the bugatti veyron?
0- 60 mph in 2.5 seconds
The slope of the line on a speed time graph tells the speed?
accelleration
What is the formula for calculating the distance from the initial speed?
When you say initial speed I assume there will be accelleration. If so you could you: s = ut + 1/2at^2. or s = 1/2(u + v)t where s is distance in meters u is initial velocity in ms v is the final velocity in ms a is accelleration in ms^-2 t is time in s If there is no accelleration then s = ut
What does the slope of they curve on a velocity-versus-time graph represent?
The rate of change in accelleration.
