According to Newton's law of Universal Gravitation, all masses have a force of attraction between itself and another mass. This force is proportional to the object's masses and inversely proportional to the radius between the objects squared. The formula F=GMm/r^2 can be used to calculate the Earth's gravitational field.
F=mGM/r^2
but the force we are trying to find is the gravitational force.
as F=ma (newton's second law), a=GM/r^2.
Since G is 6.67x10^-11, M = 5.98x10^24 and r = 6367000m, we can find out 'a' which is the acceleration an object will experience on the surface of Earth due to the Earth's gravitational field. It will equal to approximately 9.8 metres per second squared.

∙ 10y agoWell it vary with distance from center of the earth. If you take measurement of gravity very high above the ground it may be less than 9.8 and if you measure it below the earth surface then it may be more. Average pull of gravity at surface is 9.8ms-2

What is the gravity of Kepler 16b?
The surface gravity is 14.5 ms-2.
What is gravity speed?
Gravity doesn't have speed , it has acceleration. On Earth gravitational acceleration is 9.8 ms^-2. Often approximated to 10 ms^-2
If an object has a mass of 10 kilograms how much does it weigh?
Near Earth's surface, it would weigh about 98 newton.Weight = mass x gravity And, close to Earth, the gravitational field ("gravity") is about 9.8 newton/kilogram.
When your mass is 96 kg. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 ms 2 . How much work against gravity do you do when you climb a flight of stairs 3.8 m high Answer in units of J.?

Why don't all falling objects have an acceleration of 9.8 ms?
If gravity is the only force, they WILL have an acceleration of about 9.8 meter per second square, close to Earth's surface. However, there may be forces other than gravity involved - such as air resistance.
