When something falls to the ground it accelerates this acceleration is called the acceleration due to gravity and is symbolized by the letter g what is the value of g on earths surface?

9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2
Technically when pronouncing acceleration due to gravity the internationally correct way to say is is 9.8 meters per second per second rather than per second squared, but that's just me being picky, sorry

What is the rate of the gravity accelerates objects on earth?
The acceleration due to gravity alone on Earth is about 9.81 meters per second-squared.
What is the equation to figure out something's weight?
Multiply the thing's mass by the acceleration of gravity.
When falling objects no longer accelerate?
A falling object no longer accelerates, due to friction in the atmosphere, when the friction buildup equals gravity's acceleration. This is called it's terminal velocity.
How does Acceleration relate to gravity?
Not at all. However Gravity can impart an acceleration - Gravitational acceleration.
Example of gravity related to mass?
Acceleration of gravity multiplied by mass gets you the weight of an object.The force of gravity on earth accelerates at 9.8m/s^2.Multiply the mass of the object (in Kg) by 9.8, and you will get the weight.Note:Mass of an object remains constant no matter where you are. Weight might not, because it is dependent on force of gravity.

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.
How do gravity and speed matter with velocity?
1. Gravity is acceleration. 2. speed is a scalar quantity. 3 . velocity is a vector quantity. In other words, gravity is the force which accelerates matter towards the centre of a mass. Speed is how fast something is moving in general. Velocity is speed in one direction. I suppose a link could be using the suvat equations with velocity and acceleration. But vector and scalar quantities don't mix very well.
What is the equation to figure out something's weight?
Multiply the thing's mass by the acceleration of gravity.
What does gravity have to do with acceleration?
there are about three answers for this but it depends on the view of the question..when something is falling due to gravity its accelartion speeds up.. the more gravity on something then the slower it goes.. the less gravity on something it will go faster.. hope this helped!!

What is gravity measured in?
In Newtons, which are Kilogram meters per second, or Km/s2. It is measured as a force. It is also common to refer to the acceleration of gravity or "g" and describe it merely as an acceleration, since the gravity of an object accelerates all other objects at the same rate (if the distances involved are about the same). 'g' is almost always defined by earth's gravitational acceleration at it's surface, of 9.8KG/s2, and is used as the standard unit.
How acceleration effect gravity?
Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.
Is mass x gravity equal to an objects acceleration?
Well, first let's look at what gravity is. If we consider "gravity" as gravitational force, then force=mass x acceleration, and mass x gravity does NOT equal acceleration. Acceleration is the change of velocity, so an object could accelerate without being affected by gravity, maybe just another force, like jet engines or something. Basically, no.

How does speed and acceleration effect gravity?
Speed or acceleration have no effect on gravity.
