the acceleration of free fall ,it has a value of 9.8ms-2 ,every objected falling freely under the action of gravity always have this constant speed

On or near the surface of the earth, it's 9.8 meters (32.2 ft) per second2 .
Wiki User

Wiki User
∙ 9y agoIt is constant on earth but different on other planets.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThat depends on local gravity. Near Earth's surface it is about 9.8 meters/second2. On other planets it may be more, or less. Even on Earth, it varies slightly from place to place.

What is Saturn's value for acceleration due to gravity?
Acceleration due to gravity on Saturn = 11.171 m/s2 (9.807 m/s2 on Earth)
What is the value of acceleration due to gravity in space?
The magnitude of acceleration due to gravity depends on the mass of the object toward which you're attracted by gravity, and on your distance from it. There are trillions of different possibilities in space.
Does mass change on other planets due to gravity?
No. Except for insignificant effects related to Special Relativity, the mass remains constant. The weight, on the other hand, changes. Weight is calcualted as: weight = mass x gravity Where "gravity" is the acceleration due to gravity.
The acceleration due to gravity at the equator?
about 9.795m/s2 but9.8m/s2 is almost always used.Note: centripetal acceleration (from the earth's spin) cause apparent gravity to be about 0.3% less than actual gravity (about 9.767m/s2) at the equatoryou can find the acceleration of gravity on any planet by the equation:a=G(M/R2) where 'a' is the acceleration due to gravity, G is the gravitational constant (about .0000000000667), M is the mass of the earth ( or other planet), and R is the radius of the earth (or other planet)References:A.P. Physics class
Why is the weight of an object different on Earth and the moon even though the object's mass is the same in both places?
Weight depends on acceleration due to gravity and similarly acceleration due gravity depends on force of gravity. The force of gravity of moon is 6times less than that of earth and due to this their is variation in acceleration due to gravith between the earth and the moon. As there is difference in acceleration due to gravity between the earth and moon, the magnitude of weight also vary . And next most important thing to keep on mind is that mass is independent of gravity so it does not change anywhere ....
How acceleration due to gravity value is calculated?
The acceleration of gravity due to a single object is(Universal gravitational constant) x (Mass of the object)/(distance from the object's center of mass)2
Is there acceleration in the y direction?
Yes , there is a constant acceleration is the y- axis. and that acceleration is called acceleration due to gravity or Gravity. Gravity attracts every falling body which is on y axis. that's why the gravity is on y axis which is constant
What is the constant for gravity?
The constant acceleration due to gravity on EARTH is -9.81 m/s^2. This constant does not apply to objects on other planets because the mass of another planet might not be the same as Earth's mass. Because acceleration due to gravity is constant, this will be the acceleration due to gravity no matter the position of the object on Earth.
Why gravitational constant is constant while when acceleration due to gravity is change?
gravity of earth is constant in any plane but the acceleration may vary becoz of irregular plane
What is the value for the acceleration due to gravity?
9.98
Can acceleration due to gravity vary with respect to height?
No, acceleration due to gravity is a constant at 9.81ms-2. It cannot be influenced by other factors such as height.
What is the relation between the potential energy and acceleration due to the gravity?
The two are unrelated. Potential energy depends on height; acceleration due to gravity is more or less constant.
How is acceleration due to gravity be zero in a parachute?
At terminal velocity (constant velocity), the acceleration is zero, but prior to that, there is a downward acceleration.
What is the effect of increasing the mas on the experimental value of the acceleration due to gravity?
No effect. All masses experience the same acceleration due to gravity.
What is Saturn's value for acceleration due to gravity?
Acceleration due to gravity on Saturn = 11.171 m/s2 (9.807 m/s2 on Earth)
Who first measured the value of acceleration due to gravity?
Newton.
How do you find acceleration due to gravity when gravitational constant is given. tell the formula?
Acceleration due to gravity in the vicinity of a mass 'M' is A = G M / R2 A = the acceleration G = gravitational constant M = mass of the mass R = distance from the center of the mass 'M'
