What is the acceleration of an object approaching the earths surface?

∙ 12y ago
Because gravity is not uniform across the entire surface of the earth and the centripetal force varies noticeably with latitude, the acceleration varies from point to point on Earth. At different points on Earth, objects fall with an acceleration between 9.78 and 9.82 m/s2 depending on latitude, with a conventional standard value of exactly 9.80665 m/s2 (approx. 32.174 ft/s2).

What is the acceleration of an object in a free fall at Earth's surface?
The acceleration is 9.807 meters per second squared.
What is the force with which gravity pulls on objects that are close to earth?
The force depends on the mass of the object. That's why tall fat people weigh more than short skinny people. Whatever the mass of the object happens to be, the forces of gravity between the Earth and the object are 9.8 newtons (about 2.205 pounds) per kilogram of mass, in both directions.
An object in space having a volume that is approaching zero and density approaching infinity?
An object in space having a volume that is approaching zero and density approaching infinity?
While an object near the earths surface is in free fall its mass increases?
No. The mass is constant. Until it hits.
How does the force due to gravity on Mars compare to the force due to gravity on Earth?
The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Mars is approximately 3.7 m/s2. Earth's acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 on average. The force that gravity would exert on an object is dependent on its mass.
When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
No, your weight is just the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity,
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
As an object approaches the Earth's surface what will its acceleration be?
As an object approaches the Earth's surface, what will its acceleration be?
Why does an object accelerate when it falls towards the earths surface?
The force of gravity pulls it down to the earth.
What is the acceleration of an object in free fall at Earths surface?
9.8 m/sec2 or 32.2 ft/sec2 (Both are rounded).
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of a planet will effect a person or objects?
The acceleration affects the weight of the person and object
What is the acceleration of an object in a free fall at Earth's surface?
The acceleration is 9.807 meters per second squared.
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of a planet will effect a person's or object's what?
weight
What is the gravitational acceleration of an object on the surface of the earth?
At or near the surface of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second per second
What occurs when the objects free falls near earths surfaces?
Constant acceleration
What factors that affect motion?
An object's motion is affected by the initial speed and acceleration and the forces that interact with it, the most important being: Gravity - that is affected by the gravitational constant g - which is affected by altitude; Air friction - that depends on the speed of the object and it's volume and air density; Surface friction - depends on the size of the surface of contact, the force that the object exerts on the surface, the surface and the object's coefficient of friction; All the above forces are proportional to the mass of the object.
An object at rest on the earths surface has two forces acting upon it what are they and why doesnt the object move?
Gravity and the upward force of the surface the object is resting on.
