The unit of gravitational acceleration is the unit as in regular acceleration

Acceleration is measure [distance / time unit2]

Acceleration is usually measure in [m/s2]

The moon's is 1.625 [m/s2]

Earth's is 9.8067 [m/s2]

The sun's is 274.1 [m/s2]

meters per second. it is actually a velocity, the typical value of which is standardized at about sea level, and which varies according to elevation (less further from the planet).

You mean acceleration due to gravity. Then it is the same as that of acceleration ie m/s2

The gravitational constant is (g) 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2 Kg^2

OR

the force produced by gravity (on Earth) is pounds, or 32.2 feet/sec.sec

What is the difference between gravitational acceleration and acceleration?

Gravitational acceleration is simply acceleration due to gravity.


The SI unit for expressing gravity is the newton?

No, the Newton is a measure of weight = mass * gravitational acceleration.


Is gravitational pull the same as gravitational acceleration?

No. "Pull" is a force, not an acceleration.


How is gravitational potential energy created?

It is created when a body of unit mass is brought from infinity to that point without acceleration.


What is a unit of gravitational force called?

If you are referring to what unit mass multiplied by acceleration gives you, then the answer is Newtons (N). One Newton is the equivalent of one Kgm/sec/sec


What is gravitational accelaration?

the gravitational force attract all the thing to earth, the force increases 9.81 per second, which is called as gravitional acceleration.( speed is never increases or de creases and unit is m/s, its constant through specify distance and when the speed increases or decreases its called as acceleration its unit is m/s2).


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.


What is the S.I. unit of gravity?

"Gravity" is not a quantity. The mutual force of attraction between massesthat arises as a result of gravity is.The SI unit of force is the newton. 1 newton = 1 kilogram-meter/second2 .Acceleration due to gravity is given in units of acceleration, or [ meter/second2 ] .


Can you calculate gravitational acceleration witn only having the time and the mass of the object?

Gravitational acceleration is always g = 9.8


In Physics what does the term gforce refer to?

G-force is short for gravitational force and is not technically a force. Instead, it is a measurement of acceleration, that is force per unit mass. It is generally measured in terms of the acceleration of free-fall, that is acceleration due to gravity.


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.
