The speed will not be constant. If air resistance is not significant, the speed of an object will increase about 9.8 meters per second every second. This is often expressed as an acceleration of 9.8 meters per square second.

Why doesn't the Sun's gravity pull on objects on earth?

It does. Earth, along with everything on it is pulled toward the sun by gravity. However since they are all pulled in the same direction at the same rate, everything stays on Earth.


What is the amount of gravity pulling on an objects mass?

Gravity pulls everything down at a rate of 9.8 m/s2 .


How does gravity affect objects with different masses?

Gravity affects objects with different masses equally, causing them to be pulled toward the center of the Earth at the same rate. However, objects with greater mass will have a greater force of gravity acting on them, making it more difficult to move them or change their trajectory.


At what rate does gravity cause objects to accelerate?

Gravity causes objects to accelerate at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared.


Does gravity attract all objects at the same rate?

True


Does gravity causes all falling objects to accelerate at the rate of 98?

The rate is 9.8m/sec


Does gravity force all objects downward at the same speed?

Gravity causes all objects to accelerate at the same rate in a vacuum. In air there is air resistance which can slow some objects down eg a parachute. So, yes, in a vacuum all objects reach the same speed in the same time period.


Why does a ball fall down?

A ball falls down due to the force of gravity acting on it, pulling it towards the center of the Earth. This force causes objects to accelerate towards the ground at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2.


How are objects affected by gravity?

According to Newton's theory of Gravitation, due to gravity, every object with mass attracts every other object with mass with a force which is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the distance between them.It is due to this force that the planets revolve around the Sun and objects on Earth always fall back down to the surface.


Why do snowflakes fall at a different rate than rain sleet or hail?

because they are lighter/dont weigh as much. frozen water takes longer to get pulled down by gravity


What gravity on an object?

Gravity is a force that pulls objects with mass towards each other. The strength of gravity depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them. On Earth, gravity accelerates objects at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 towards the center of the planet.


Why do objects fall the ground at the same rate?

When something falls from somwhere its because of gravity and gravity has an exact speed so everything falls at the same rate
