By now, we should all be comfortable with the fact that as long as there's

a force acting on an object, the object continues to accelerate, that is, to

move, in the direction of the force, with increasing speed.

Any two objects have a pair of equal forces acting on them ... the forces of

universal gravitation, which attracts every object to every other object. So

every two objects that are free to move must accelerate toward each other.

When I'm up in the air above the earth's surface, I'm attracted toward the earth

with a force of 185 pounds, and the earth is attracted toward me with a force of

185 pounds. Both I and the earth are accelerated by the forces on us.

My acceleration toward the earth ... the rate at which my speed increases ...

is 9.8 meters per second (32.2 feet per second) faster every second.

Since the earth's mass is somewhat greater than my mass but the force on it is

the same as the force on me, the earth accelerates toward me at a somewhat

lower rate.

Is the value of g equals 9.8m s constant?

No. It is an approximation for objects near earth, objects further away from earth experience less force and therefore dont have as great an acceleration.
