The acceleration is the same for all objects, as long as air resistance is insignificant. After a while, different objects will have different amount of air resistance. Also, even without air resistance, the speed depends not only on the acceleration, but also on how how long the objects are falling.

How gravity sensor works?

I am assuming you are referring to the accelerometer that allows the phone to change from portrait to landscape when the phone is turned. If so, read on... remember-you wanted technical! An accelerometer measures the non gravitational acceleration it experiences.[1] By definition, non-gravitational acceleration is that which is produced by forces other than gravity or inertial/fictitious forces. Such forces include all simple mechanical forces. These are transmitted to the accelerometer device through mechanical stress on its mounting. The result of such forces, and the output of the accelerometer, is typically expressed in SI units meters/second2 (m/s2) or popularly in terms of g-force. It does not measure the "acceleration" due to gravity, and an accelerometer in free fall in a gravity field, even though being accelerated, will read "zero." This includes use in an earth orbiting spaceship. When held stationary or moving at constant speed in a gravity field by a support, the output of an accelerometer has an offset due to local gravity. The force applied by the support means that, perhaps counter-intuitively, the accelerometer will indicate 1 g along the vertical axis away from the Earth. The accelerometer is simply measuring the inertial acceleration due to this external force (which thus points in a direction opposite its weight, and compensates for its weight so as it keep it motionless in the gravitational field.)

Why do all objects fall to earth at the same time velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?

All objects fall to Earth at the same velocity under gravity because they experience the same acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface. This means that regardless of their mass, they will accelerate towards the Earth at the same rate, resulting in the same final velocity when they hit the ground.


All objects change velocity as they move toward earth at a rate of 9.8 ms2 due to which factor of gravity?

The factor of gravity responsible for causing objects to change velocity at a rate of 9.8 ms^2 as they move towards Earth is the acceleration due to gravity. This acceleration is constant near the surface of the Earth and is denoted by 'g'.


Why does gravity change velocity?

Gravity changes velocity because it accelerates objects towards the Earth at a rate of 9.81 m/s^2. As objects fall, their velocity increases due to this gravitational acceleration. Conversely, when objects move against gravity, such as when thrown upwards, gravity decreases their velocity until they eventually stop and fall back down.


Effect of acceleration due to gravity?

Acceleration due to gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the Earth. It causes objects to accelerate at a rate of 9.81 m/s^2 towards the ground. This acceleration is responsible for the feeling of weight that we experience, and it also affects the trajectory of objects thrown or dropped.


What causes falling objects to reach top velocity?

Falling objects reach top velocity due to the acceleration of gravity pulling them downwards. As the object falls, the force of gravity causes it to accelerate until air resistance (or another opposing force) balances out the acceleration, leading to a constant velocity known as terminal velocity.


Formula for acceleration of all objects falling to the earth?

The acceleration of all objects falling to Earth due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. This value remains constant regardless of the mass or size of the object.


In freefall do all objects near Earth's surface have the same acceleration?

Without atmospheric drag, all free falling objects near earth's surface will have the same acceleration. But because of friction with the air (air resistance), the velocity of objects due to that acceleration is limited. The actual velocity is dependent on the surface area of the object relative to its mass. The principle of the parachute is to increase the surface area of a falling object with respect to its mass.
