Yes, but you don't experience it around here.
The part of acceleration that's due to gravity is constant, but anything that falls
through air experiences an increasing air-resistance force as it falls faster, and
it eventually stops accelerating, at a speed called its "terminal velocity".
If you rig up a situation where there's no air, and you can witness the pure effects
of gravity, then things really get interesting ... like a Bowling ball and a feather both
falling together and hitting the bottom at the same time. Many museums have exhibits
like that set up, with a large transparent shaft from which the air us evacuated, and
in which they drop things.
No. acceleration due to gravity depends upon i) height above the earth's surface ii) depth below the earth's surface iii) rotation of the earth iv) shape of the earth. it decreases with the height above the earth's surface:it decreases with the depth below the earth surface, it decreases with the speed of the rotation. it is zero at the centre of the earth.
What else can I help you with?
Why acceleration due to gravity becomes constant?
Acceleration due to gravity becomes constant when an object is in free fall because there is no external force acting on it to change its velocity. This leads to a constant acceleration towards the center of the Earth, known as the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2).
Do objects that are falling in free fall have a constant acceleration?
Yes, objects falling in free fall have a constant acceleration due to gravity.
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 is the constant for gravity?
The constant acceleration due to gravity on EARTH is -9.81 m/s^2. This constant does not apply to objects on other planets because the mass of another planet might not be the same as Earth's mass. Because acceleration due to gravity is constant, this will be the acceleration due to gravity no matter the position of the object on Earth.
As a freely falling object speeds up what is happening to its acceleration due to gravity?
Its acceleration due to gravity is constant. The acceleration is equal to the object's change in speed every second. I've tried to illustrate the constantly-increasing falling speed in my diagram below.

Why gravitational constant is constant while when acceleration due to gravity is change?
gravity of earth is constant in any plane but the acceleration may vary becoz of irregular plane
Can acceleration due to gravity vary with respect to height?
No, acceleration due to gravity is a constant at 9.81ms-2. It cannot be influenced by other factors such as height.

Why does gravity produce a constant acceleration?
Gravity produces a constant acceleration because it is proportional to mass and inversely proportional to distance squared. This means that as an object falls towards the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity remains constant at approximately 9.8 m/s^2 near the surface of the Earth.
Is the acceleration due to gravity dependent on the mass of an object?
No, the acceleration due to gravity is constant regardless of the mass of an object. All objects near Earth's surface experience the same acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
Is a constant acceleration graph a linear equation?
Not necessarily. The equation of a projectile, moving under constant acceleration (due to gravity) is a parabola - a non-linear equation.
Does changing the mass of a free falling body affect the value of the acceleration of gravity?
No, changing the mass of a free-falling body does not affect the value of the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is a constant value that is independent of the mass of the object. All objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum due to gravity.
Does the acceleration due to gravity depend on the mass of the cart?
No. On Earth the force of gravity or acceleration is always about 9.8m/sec^2 Earth's gravity does not change just because the cart gets heavier lighter.
