The force of gravity is measured in units called?

Answer 1

In newtons, also written as N with the units: kgm/sec2 ( kilogram meters per second per second).

It is a force, like any other.

It is also possible to describe it based upon the acceleration it induces, as it accelerates all objects at a given distance the same amount.

Answer 2

The gravity of Earth has a unit of measurement of 9.8 m/s2 (2 means square). Wherever the location, island or country, the unit of measurement remains that way. This means, the measurement according to the scientists, is accurate, not precise.

Answer 3

newtons

The widely used units of force include the newton, pound, and ton.

The origin of the force doesn't matter.

The magnitude of gravity in any given place is described as an acceleration.

Units of acceleration include ...

-- meters/second2

-- feet/second2

Answer 4

Gravity as a force is measured in Newtons.

The Gravitational constant, used to calculate the force of gravity in relation to two objects a given distance away, is measured in Newtons * Meters / kilograms^2

Answer 5

The 'strength' of a gravitational 'field' is expressed as an acceleration.

It's the acceleration of any mass in free fall through that field, when

falling with no opposing forces acting on the mass.

The acceleration of gravity on or near the Earth's surface is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 .

On or near the moon's surface, it's 1.6 meters (5.3 feet) per second2 .

Answer 6

In Newtons, which are Kilogram meters per second per second, or Km/s2. It is measured as a force.

It is also common to refer to the acceleration of gravity or "g" and describe it merely as an acceleration, since the gravity of an object accelerates all other objects at the same rate (if the distances involved are about the same). 'g' is almost always defined by earth's gravitational acceleration at it's surface, of 9.8m/s2, and is used as the standard unit.

Answer 7

The force of gravity is measured in the same units as any other force. A few

popular ones include newtons, pounds, dynes, and stone. ('Kilogram' is not

a unit of force.)

It's not possible to describe the nature of gravity on one planet or another

in terms of force, because the force depends on the size of another mass

placed on that body.

The nature of the gravitational field in the vicinity of some large body is described

in terms of the acceleration of gravity there. In SI units, it's meters per second2.

In English units, feet per second2. The value is 9.8 (32.2) on Earth, and 1.62 (5.32)

on the moon.

Knowing the acceleration of gravity in a place, the force on any mass can be calculated.

Earth . . . 9.8 newtons per kilogram (32.2 pounds per slug).

Moon . . . 1.62 newtons per kilogram (5.32 pounds per slug).

Answer 8

The force of the gravitational field can be expressed in meters/second2 - the acceleration given to an object in free fall. It can also be expressed in the equivalent newton/kilogram - the gravitational force that acts on a mass. In case of Earth, near the surface, the numerical value in both cases (since they are equivalent) is about 9.8.

Another important measure is the escape velocity - what must be your initial speed if you want to completely escape from the gravity of Earth, the Moon, or whatever. This is measured in units of velocity, usually kilometers/second.

Answer 9

Gravity is a force experienced depending on the mass of the object and is therefore measured in Newtons per Kilogram (NKg-1)

Answer 10

Gravity is measured in G forces, and the gravity on earth is one G.
