That means that the acceleration of an object is caused by the force of gravity acting on the object.

How can you define acceleration due to gravity?

yes, 9.81 m/s^2


When can you used the positive acceleration due to gravity and negative acceleration due to gravity?

If you define the "up" direction as "positive", then the acceleration is negative, because it is downward. If you define "down" as positive, then acceleration is negative. You can use any convention; just be sure to be consistent within a particular calculation, to avoid errors.


What is the direction of acceleration due to gravity for an upwardly launched rocket?

If it were accelerating due to gravity it would be vectoring down.


What happens to your weight if acceleration due to gravity somehow doubled?

If acceleration due to gravity doubled, your weight on Earth would also double. This means that the force of gravity pulling you downward would be twice as strong as it is currently, causing you to feel heavier.


What is equivalent of acceleration due to gravity?

acceleration due to gravity of earth is 9.8ms-2


If acceleration equals gravity. what is the weight of the object?

If acceleration is equal to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth), then the weight of the object would be equal to its mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. This relationship is described by the formula Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.


What is Saturn's value for acceleration due to gravity?

Saturn's acceleration due to gravity is approximately 10.4 m/s^2, which is about 1.1 times the acceleration due to gravity on Earth.


Does mass determine the acceleration due to gravity?

The acceleration due to Gravity is constant at 32 feet per second per second, if you dropped a feather and a cannon ball in a vacuum they would fall at the same rate and hit the floor at he same time.


What force that can change when acceleration due to gravity changes?

I suppose you are asking about what forces change when acceleration due to gravity changes. In this case, the formula for forces concerning acceleration due to gravity is as such: fg=mg. When acceleration due to gravity(g) changes, it affects the force of gravity which is also known as the weight of the object. This is shown as fg.


Will acceleration due to gravity change the weight of an object?

No, acceleration due to gravity does not change the weight of an object. Weight is determined by the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity in that location. The acceleration due to gravity affects the force with which an object is pulled toward the center of the Earth, leading to its weight.


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.).


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.
