no,but the table exerts an equal & opposite force so net force is zero.

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.
Is there acceleration in the y direction?
Yes , there is a constant acceleration is the y- axis. and that acceleration is called acceleration due to gravity or Gravity. Gravity attracts every falling body which is on y axis. that's why the gravity is on y axis which is constant
How does the weight of a body vary with its position on earth?
Weight is measure of the product between the body's mass and acceleration due to gravity acting on it. This acceleration due to gravity is different at different locations on earth. And hence is the weight. Poles are said to have higher acceleration of gravity.
What is the acceleration due to gravity when a body reaches the ground?
The acceleration is still 9.8 m/s2 but the force applied by gravity is counteracted by the ground.
What is the theory of the acceleration due to gravity?
During a fee fall, when there is no normal force to resist the force of gravity, the body's acceleration is the same as the force of gravity 9.8m/s-2

Can a body resting on a table have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?
It depends on the frame of reference (where it is).On Earth a body on a table is still rotating around the centre of the Earth. This implies a change of direction and thus having a velocity around the centre and an acceleration acceleration due to centripetal force that makes a body follow a curved path. Eben without this the body is orbiting the sun with the same impact

When does a body has a positive acceleration during free fall?
When affected by gravity.
Does a rock falling from a cliff have a constant acceleration?
Yes. Every body that is falling, (if there is no other force then the gravity force) will fall in constant acceleration. Mass does not affect the acceleration of the body. According to Newton's second law: F=m*a m*g=m*a g=a F= Force m= mass a= acceleration g= gravity acceleration m*g= the force of gravity
Is number 9 gravity?
Not quite, However the acceleration on a body due to gravity can be appronimated as 9.81m/s^2
Does changing the mass of a free falling body affect the value of the acceleration of gravity?
no
How much do I weight?
mass times the acceleration due to gravity
How do you write a sentence about gravity with force included?
The force of weight is the force of gravity on a celestial body. To find the force of weight you can multiply mass x acceleration. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2
