Why the acceleration due to gravity depends on where on the earth you are?
Shenmuyang
Because the Earth is not a perfect sphere, so at different locations,
you can be slightly nearer or slightly farther from the Earth's center.

What is equivalent of acceleration due to gravity?
acceleration due to gravity of earth is 9.8ms-2
The weight of an object varies with the force with which gravity pulls on it?
Weight of an object depends on the objects mass and the acceleration due to gravity... Weight=mxg where m = mass g=acceleration due to gravity on earth, acceleration due to gravity = approx 9.81m/s2
What is accileration due to gravity on earth?
Acceleration due to gravityThe acceleration produced in the motion of a body under gravity is called Acceleration.
What is 9.8 of acceleration?
that's acceleration due to gravity on earth.
What is acceleration due to gravity called?
Acceleration due to gravity means the force due to weight of an object which increases due to the gravitational pull of the earth.

Why is the weight of an object different on Earth and the moon even though the object's mass is the same in both places?
Weight depends on acceleration due to gravity and similarly acceleration due gravity depends on force of gravity. The force of gravity of moon is 6times less than that of earth and due to this their is variation in acceleration due to gravith between the earth and the moon. As there is difference in acceleration due to gravity between the earth and moon, the magnitude of weight also vary . And next most important thing to keep on mind is that mass is independent of gravity so it does not change anywhere ....

What is the gravity of a diamond?
gravity of any material on earth is, acceleration due to gravity of earth and is 9.81m/s2
What is the formula for caculating weight?
Weight = (mass)(acceleration due to gravity). On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.82 m/s2.
What is acceleration due to gravity called?
Acceleration due to gravity means the force due to weight of an object which increases due to the gravitational pull of the earth.
How do you Calculate G forces with only Acceleration given?
You divide the given acceleration by the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity. If the acceleration is in meters per second square, you divide by 9.8.You divide the given acceleration by the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity. If the acceleration is in meters per second square, you divide by 9.8.You divide the given acceleration by the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity. If the acceleration is in meters per second square, you divide by 9.8.You divide the given acceleration by the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity. If the acceleration is in meters per second square, you divide by 9.8.
Would you feel heavy or light on Uranus?
You would feel heavier. The acceleration due to gravity on Uranus is 10.72, while the acceleration due to gravity of Earth is 9.8 m/s2 (or 9.81, it depends on who you ask.).
Is earth's gravity the same on the surface as it is in the center of the earth?
No. At the centre of the earth the acceleration due to gravity is ZERO
Why is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one third the acceleration due to gravity on earths surface?
Because the acceleration of gravity on the surface of any given body depends on the mass of the body and its radius ... the distance of the surface from the center. Mars' mass ... about 11% of Earth's ... and Mars' radius ... about 53% of Earth's ... combine to produce about 38% of Earth's gravitational acceleration at the surface of Mars.
