it is closer to the core so there is less "pull" on the said body.

Is the value of acceleration due to gravity constant?

the acceleration of free fall ,it has a value of 9.8ms-2 ,every objected falling freely under the action of gravity always have this constant speed


What will gravity do to a falling object on earth and the moon?

Wow. That is one of the great unanswered questions of Physics. Nobody knows how gravity works. People have, over the centuries, formulated natural laws that describe the behavior of objects under the influence of gravity; Galileo Galilei, Issac Newton, and Albert Einstein for example.Look it up on wikipedia. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/, and search for Gravity.


What is the temperature 2 meters under Earth's surface?

The temperature 2 meters under the Earth's surface varies depending on location, but generally, it can be estimated to increase by about 25-30 degrees Fahrenheit for every kilometer in depth due to the geothermal gradient. Therefore, it would be slightly warmer than the surface temperature.


Where is Hubble Telescope located?

The Hubble Telescope is a space telescope which is approximately 559 kilometers away from the surface of the earth in a "low earth orbit" which indicates that it is orbiting under 200 kilometers.


Are diamonds made from volcanoes?

No, diamonds are not made from volcanoes. Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle under high pressure and temperature, typically found in kimberlite pipes that bring them to the surface through volcanic eruptions. Volcanoes can bring diamonds closer to the surface, but they are not the source of their formation.

The free fall acceleration of an object under earth's gravity is directed where?

The free fall acceleration of an object under Earth's gravity is directed downward, towards the center of the Earth. This acceleration is constant at approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on the surface of the Earth.


What is the acceleration of gravity near the Earth's surface?

The acceleration of gravity near the Earth's surface is approximately 9.81 m/s². This value is commonly denoted as "g" and represents the rate at which objects accelerate toward the Earth when falling freely under gravity.


What is the acceration due to gravity?

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. This value represents the rate at which an object falls freely under the influence of gravity and is a constant value near the Earth's surface.


What is the acceleration rate for falling objects?

If the objects are under free fall near the surface of the Earth, then they are under uniform acceleration due to gravity whose magnitude is 9.8ms-2 .In general, on the surface of a planet of mass m and radius r the acceleration due to gravity is Gm/r2, where G is Newton's gravitational constant.


What is an acceleration that is 9.8 meters?

An acceleration of 9.8 meters per second squared is equivalent to the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. This value represents the rate at which the speed of an object changes per second when it falls freely under gravity near the Earth's surface.


What is the acceleration of gravity in meters?

"Meters" is not a unit of acceleration.The acceleration of gravity on or near the surface of the Earth is about9.8 meters/second2 .It's different in other places.


How would you define acceleration due to gravity?

Acceleration due to gravity is the rate at which an object accelerates towards the Earth when falling freely under gravity. It has a constant value of approximately 9.81 m/s^2 near the surface of the Earth.


What is the term for melted rock under Earth's surface?

'Magma' is melted rock occurring under the Earth's surface. When it comes up and flows out on the Earth's surface it is called 'lava'.


What forces in earth help shape earth's surface?

the plates under earth's surface


Under what two conditions will you change velocity and thus acceleration or decceleration?

You either increase or decrease the speed


Why are metamorphic rocks not common on Earth's surface?

They are formed under the earth's surface.


What do you call the molten rocks under the earth surface?

Molten rocks under the Earth's surface are called magma. When magma reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called lava.
