The acceleration of an object due to gravity is 9.6 meters per second. The acceleration does not decrease or increase based on an object's mass.

∙ 14y agoAn object at rest doesn't have acceleration unless it has potential energy to be used or a force acts on it. Acceleration is how fast things pick up speed. This also means turns and stops. So there is technically no acceleration of an object at rest.

∙ 10y agoOn Earth, it's about 9.81 meters per second2 everywhere.
In other places, the number is different.

Does a dish resting on a table have constant acceleration?
An object at rest has zero speed and zero acceleration.
What is the word that means zero velocity?
Any object which is at rest has zero velocity, for example a rock on the road. car parked at lane, a motor which is not moving or stop. a man sleeping. home office statue of liberty. anything that is at rest has zero velocity.
Can an object move when its acceleration is zero?
dude324's answer: according tov=u+at if a=0 this implies v=u , thusyes it can. Even if acceleration is zero, it could have a constant velocity and could be moving.Lydia's answer: No, because an object at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
How do photons exert force if force is mass times acceleration and photons have no rest mass and travel at constant speed?
The problem in the posed question is the "mass" in the equation you quote is the mass of the object upon which the force (whether it be a photon or not) is acting, NOT the mass of the object exerting the force. You can MEASURE the net force on an object with mass simply by measuring the acceleration of that object and dividing it by the object's mass. Or you can predict an acceleration of an object with mass by calculating what its net force will be, and then dividing that by the object's mass. Unrelated to the above excellent answer, but another comment on the question: You mention, correctly, that photons have no rest-mass. But the photon is never at rest, and at the speed at which it moves from place to place, it has mass.
An object at rest will remain at rest unlees what type of force acts upon it?
A force. This leads to the equation; force = mass x acceleration Unbalanced(:
When forces are balanced compare the acceleration of an object at rest and an object in motion?
An object at rest has zero acceleration. If the set of forces acting on a moving object is balanced, then the moving object also has zero acceleration.
Does a dish resting on a table have constant acceleration?
An object at rest has zero speed and zero acceleration.
What is the net force of an object that is sitting still?
Since force is a function of acceleration and an object at rest has zero acceleration, then then net force is zero as well.
What is the word that means zero velocity?
Any object which is at rest has zero velocity, for example a rock on the road. car parked at lane, a motor which is not moving or stop. a man sleeping. home office statue of liberty. anything that is at rest has zero velocity.
How is am object moving at a constant speed and in a straight line like an object at rest?
An object moving at a constant speed in a straight line has an acceleration of 0. An object at rest also has an acceleration of 0. So, the two things I see in common are their accelerations, which are both 0.
What is needed to cause the object at rest to move or an object in motion to change the direction or speed?
Force, which causes acceleration
If the net force acting on an object is zero then what will the object do?
It will keep moving with a constant velocity since zero net force means no acceleration. If the object is at rest, it will just stay at rest.
The net force of an object is zero can you conclude that the object is at rest?
You can't. The net force simply means that the acceleration is zero. It could be at rest, or the object could be moving at a constant velocity.
How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object at rest?
they cause the object to move with acceleration given by A nett force.
Will acceleration of an object affect the force?
Remember Newton's First Law - Unless acted on by a force, bodies at rest will stay at rest and bodies in motion will stay in motion. To be able to observe acceleration, first a force has to act on the object. So, the question should be reversed - "Will the force on an object affect the acceleration?" Answer - YES. How will it be affected? Refer to Newton's Second Law for that.
What happens to an object when forces acting on an object are balanced?
Balanced force -> Zero net force -> Zero acceleration (stays at rest or constant velocity)
Can an object move when its acceleration is zero?
dude324's answer: according tov=u+at if a=0 this implies v=u , thusyes it can. Even if acceleration is zero, it could have a constant velocity and could be moving.Lydia's answer: No, because an object at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
