Is gravitational pull the same as gravitational acceleration?

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


What is the value of gravitational constant in the surface of moon?

The gravitational constant "G" is the same everywhere. The force of gravity on the moon, expressed as the acceleration of a falling body is 1.62 metres/sec2. compared with 9.81 m/s2 on the earth.


What stays the same regardless of gravitational acceleration?

helium


Why is the mass of an object same on the moon as it is on earth but the weight is different?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It does not change based on gravity. Weight is the force an object exerts 'downward' due to gravitational acceleration. Force = (mass)*(acceleration). Acceleration due to gravity is less on the Moon than on Earth.


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.


Why is the gravitational accleration of any object near Earth is the same?

The earth creates a gravitational acceleration field around the earth and objects in that field experience the same acceleration field.


Does the earth and moon have the same amount of gravitational pull?

No, the earth is bigger than the moon so they don't have the same gravitational pull


On the moon name objects that would fall with the same acceleration?

Everything falls with the same acceleration on the moon. The acceleration is 1.6 meters (5.25-ft) per sec2.


Why is the gravitational field strength on the moon less than on the earth?

The gravitational potential energy is [ m g h ]. m = the object's mass g = the acceleration of gravity where the object is h = the object's height above the surface 'm' and 'h' are the same on the moon, but 'g' on the moon is only about 0.16 of what it is on earth. So [ m g h ] is also only about 0.16 of what it is on earth.


Is acceleration the same in moon and in earth?

No. Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is roughly 1/6 of that on Earth.


When is acceleration constant?

We have constant acceleration all the time. Its called gravity. Gravitational acceleration is 9.8... m/s^2


What is the relation connecting acceleration and gravitational force?

The same as the relation between acceleration and any other force. Force = (mass) x (acceleration) If the force happens to be gravitational, then the acceleration is down, and the formula tells you the size of the acceleration. If the acceleration is down and there are no rocket engines strapped to the object, then it's a pretty safe bet that the force is gravitational, and the formula tells you the size of the force.
