Acceleration of gravity states that all objects, no matter what the size, will fall at the same rate. This is the rate at which objects free-fall.

Also 32.2 feet per second per second.
9.8 m/s2 or 32.2 ft./s2

How does Acceleration relate to gravity?
Not at all. However Gravity can impart an acceleration - Gravitational acceleration.
How does speed and acceleration effect gravity?
Speed or acceleration have no effect on gravity.
Why is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one third the acceleration due to gravity on earths surface?
Because the acceleration of gravity on the surface of any given body depends on the mass of the body and its radius ... the distance of the surface from the center. Mars' mass ... about 11% of Earth's ... and Mars' radius ... about 53% of Earth's ... combine to produce about 38% of Earth's gravitational acceleration at the surface of Mars.
What is the definition of acceleration due to gravity?
Gravity acceleration g=GM/r2.
How do you calculate the acceleration of gravity?
To calculate the acceleration of gravity, time (t) an object falling a certain distance (d) and the acceleration of gravity= d/t
What is makemakes gravity compared to earths gravity?
The acceleration of gravity at its surface is currently estimated as 0.4 m/s2 .That's about 4% of the acceleration of gravity on the Earth's surface.
What is the surface gravity on earth?
The force of gravity on the earth is 9.8 m/s^2
How much stronger is jupiters gravity than earths?
jupiter has about 2.5 times the gravity of earth therefore the acceleration due to gravity is 26 m/s/s.
What is the affect of rotation of the earth on acceleration due to gravity?
Gravity is pretty constant figure anywhere on earth, essentially its dependent on your distance from the center of gravity of the earth, nominally it will produce an acceleration of 9.81((m/s/)/s) at the earths surface. Gravity is dependent on mass and independent of motion , ie mass of earth attracting mass of person , attraction being proportional to total mass of both and distance between their centers of gravity. However , a very small opposing acceleration outwards is experienced because you are rotating about the earths axis (centrifugal action) , its maximum effect is on the equator and zero effect at the poles. this acceleration can be calculated from: a = (v^2)/r where: a = acceleration ((m/s)/s) v = velocity (m/s) r = radius or normal distance from earths axis (m)
Why does weight on an elevator change though you don't leave earths gravity?
If the elevator accelerates, the acceleration will provide an additional apparent force.
Why is acceleration due to gravity the same for all objets?
because all are measured at the same radius from the earths cog, if you doubled this distance, the acceleration would be only one quarter that of the surface
How does Acceleration relate to gravity?
Not at all. However Gravity can impart an acceleration - Gravitational acceleration.
How acceleration effect gravity?
Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.
What occurs when the objects free falls near earths surfaces?
Constant acceleration
Why does the acceleration of gravity vary from one point to another on the earths surface?
Different air pressure, so there is more/less air resistance.
How does speed and acceleration effect gravity?
Speed or acceleration have no effect on gravity.
Which planets surface gravity is 38 percent that of earths?
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
