What else can I help you with?
Acceleration of freefall due to gravity?
At or near the surface of the earth, it's 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 . It's different at significant altitudes above the earth's surface, or on the surface of other, extraterrestrial bodies.
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.
Would weightlessness be the same on the moon as it would be in space?
No. The weightlessness you experience in space is because you are essentially in freefall. Standing on the surface of the moon you would notice its gravity.
What does freefall acceleration depend on?
Acceleration is change in velocity. So it depends on both velocity and time.
How much more is the gravitational force of the earth than the moon?
The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1/6th the acceleration of gravity on earth. Any mass on the earth's surface feels about 6 times the downward force that it would feel on the surface of the moon.
The phase ten meters per second squared describes the?
The approximate acceleration of a body in freefall near the earths surface due to earths gravitational pull. The object in freefall gains 9.81 meters per second for every second that elapses (ignoring air resistance).
What is the value of acceleration of an object in freefall?
If the object is falling close to earth the acceleration would be 9.81m/s^2. Be sure to define direction as positive or negative in the problem! (When I do problems I like to define the down direction as positive so I don't have to deal with too many negatives)
Is it possible for an object in freefall to have no acceleration?
No, but it is possible to not have an increase in speed. Because velocity is a directional quantity, not a scalar one, an object in freefall (by definition within a gravity field) is always under acceleration, just not necessarily one that alters its speed or even its position. Objects in orbit around a planet are in freefall (hence weightlessness) where the tangential component of their forward motion opposes the pull of gravity.
Will an object fall to the Moon's surface after being released?
If you are on or near the moon, yes. But the acceleration due to the moon's gravity is smaller than that on earth.
What is the gravity pull on your moon?
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of the moon is 1.623 m/s2 . (9.807 m/s2 on Earth)
If an object is droppes how fast is it traveling after 1 seconds?
In freefall, an object's velocity at a certain time can be calculated using the equation v(t)=a*t Where a=acceleration. On Earth's surface, acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s^2
How do you solve the magnitude of the gravity on the moon?
-- Acceleration of gravity on the moon =(universal gravitational constant) x (moon's mass)/(moon's radius)2-- Gravitational force on any object sitting on the moon's surface =(Acceleration of gravity on the moon) x (mass of the object)-- Universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10-11 newton-meter2/kilogram2
