Because gravity is not uniform across the entire surface of the earth and the centripetal force varies noticeably with latitude, the acceleration varies from point to point on Earth. At different points on Earth, objects fall with an acceleration between 9.78 and 9.82 m/s2 depending on latitude, with a conventional standard value of exactly 9.80665 m/s2 (approx. 32.174 ft/s2).

What is the acceleration of an object in a free fall at Earth's surface?
The acceleration of an object in free fall at Earth's surface is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, directed downward towards the center of the Earth. This value is often denoted as the acceleration due to gravity (g) and is constant near the surface of the Earth.
Why does the acceleration of a body decrease under the surface of the earth?
The acceleration of a body decreases under the surface of the earth because there is a force acting against the acceleration, known as air resistance or fluid resistance, which reduces the net force on the object. Additionally, the gravitational force pulling the object towards the center of the earth weakens with depth, leading to a decrease in acceleration.
While an object near the earths surface is in free fall its mass increases?
No, the mass of an object does not increase while it is in free fall near the Earth's surface. The object's mass remains constant regardless of its motion or position.
Why would on object that weighs 294 newtons on earth weigh only 50 newtons on the moon?
Because mass and force are related to the acceleration* of the body on which the object rests. Earth's acceleration at or near the surface is 9.807 meters per second squared. The moon's acceleration is about only 1.62 meters per second squared, thus the difference in mass and force. * Acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes over time.
How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
What is the gravitational force on any object near the earths surface?
Force (newtons) = mass (kg) * acceleration (m/s/s) > Acceleration at earths surface radius = 9.82 m/s/s
As an object approaches the Earth's surface what will its acceleration be?
As an object approaches the Earth's surface, what will its acceleration be?
What is the acceleration of an object in free fall at Earths surface?
The acceleration of an object in free fall at Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 m/s^2, which is due to the force of gravity. This acceleration is constant regardless of the mass of the object, as long as air resistance is negligible.
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of a planet will effect a person or objects?
The acceleration of gravity on a planet determines how fast an object will fall when dropped, affecting the weight of objects on the surface. This acceleration also impacts the force needed for objects to stay grounded or lifted from the surface. Overall, gravity's acceleration is essential in understanding an object's behavior on the planet's surface.
What is critical acceleration?
Critical acceleration is the minimum acceleration required to cause an object to start moving or sliding on a surface. It is the point at which the frictional force between the object and the surface is overcome by the applied force.
What is the net force acting if an object is moving along a surface with a constant acceleration?
If the object is moving along a horizontal surface with a constant acceleration,then the net vertical force on it is zero, and the net horizontal force on it is(the pushing force) minus (any kinetic friction force where it rubs the surface).The numerical value of that net force is(the acceleration) times (the object's mass).
What is the gravitational acceleration of an object on the surface of the earth?
At or near the surface of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second per second
When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
When you push up on an object, you are applying an additional force that is opposing gravity, increasing the total force acting on the object, including your weight. When you push down on an object, you are applying a force that opposes gravity and counteracts part of the force of gravity acting on the object, hence reducing the effective weight felt by the object.
Why does an object accelerate when it falls towards the earths surface?
An object accelerates when falling towards Earth due to the force of gravity acting upon it. Gravity pulls the object down towards the Earth's center, causing its speed to increase as it falls. This acceleration is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface, known as the acceleration due to gravity.
An object at rest on the surface of the earth is experiencing zero?
Acceleration.
What occurs when the objects free falls near earths surfaces?
Constant acceleration
