The force of gravity on matter is roughly 9.81 meters/(second^2)

First of all gravity is not a force, it is an acceleration. The value 9.81 m/s2 is the acceleration near the earths surface., whose units are [L]/[T]2 or m/s2 in SI units. Force, according to Newton, is F=ma, where force and acceleration are vectors and the units of force are [M]*[L]/[T]2 or kg*m/s2 in SI units and are commonly referred to as newtons or N. So the force an object feels on earth's surface depends on its mass. Force will also vary if you are considering an acceleration not due to earth's gravity.

Gravity. Well, the strong nuclear force and the electromagnetic force can pull matter together, but electrical and magnetic forces can also repel. Gravity always attracts. This particular question is pretty obviously about gravity.


Why is Gravity is not considered matter?

Gravity is a fundamental force that results from the interaction of matter. While gravity can influence matter by attracting objects toward each other, it is not considered matter itself because it is a force that acts upon matter rather than a physical substance.
