Want this question answered?
Yes. The acceleration is directly proportional to the objects mass.For objects with constant mass however, the acceleration will remain constant.
m/s
I believe gravity would fit that description.
Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth fall with the same constant acceleration, regardless of their mass/weight.
Acceleration is the change in an ogjects speed or a change in an objects direction of motion or both of these. If instead of speed you use the word velocity , which is both an object's speed and its direction of motion, then you could say "acceleration is the change in an objects velocity" and that would cover all the possibilities in one statement.

Everything falls with the same acceleration on the moon. The acceleration is 1.6 meters (5.25-ft) per sec2.
they would not differ

Actually, objects moving around a circular path have two accelerations i.e. radial acceleration and tangential acceleration. Radial acceleration is towards the radius whereas tangential acceleration is the acceleration along the direction of the tangent to the path of the motion. So, I would say yes, they are accelerated towards the outer edge of the circle.
That is because Earth attracts objects with a certain force (through gravitation). If the gravitational force were more, the acceleration would be more. If the gravitational force were less, the acceleration would also be less.
