What else can I help you with?
Do objects that are falling in free fall have a constant acceleration?
Yes, objects falling in free fall have a constant acceleration due to gravity.
Does mass determine the acceleration due to gravity?
The acceleration due to Gravity is constant at 32 feet per second per second, if you dropped a feather and a cannon ball in a vacuum they would fall at the same rate and hit the floor at he same time.
What is the constant for gravity?
The constant acceleration due to gravity on EARTH is -9.81 m/s^2. This constant does not apply to objects on other planets because the mass of another planet might not be the same as Earth's mass. Because acceleration due to gravity is constant, this will be the acceleration due to gravity no matter the position of the object on Earth.
As a freely falling object speeds up what is happening to its acceleration due to gravity?
Its acceleration due to gravity is constant. The acceleration is equal to the object's change in speed every second. I've tried to illustrate the constantly-increasing falling speed in my diagram below.
Why does gravity produce a constant acceleration?
Gravity produces a constant acceleration because it is proportional to mass and inversely proportional to distance squared. This means that as an object falls towards the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity remains constant at approximately 9.8 m/s^2 near the surface of the Earth.
Why gravitational constant is constant while when acceleration due to gravity is change?
gravity of earth is constant in any plane but the acceleration may vary becoz of irregular plane
Can acceleration due to gravity vary with respect to height?
No, acceleration due to gravity is a constant at 9.81ms-2. It cannot be influenced by other factors such as height.

Is the acceleration due to gravity dependent on the mass of an object?
No, the acceleration due to gravity is constant regardless of the mass of an object. All objects near Earth's surface experience the same acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
Is a constant acceleration graph a linear equation?
Not necessarily. The equation of a projectile, moving under constant acceleration (due to gravity) is a parabola - a non-linear equation.
Does changing the mass of a free falling body affect the value of the acceleration of gravity?
No, changing the mass of a free-falling body does not affect the value of the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is a constant value that is independent of the mass of the object. All objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum due to gravity.
Does the acceleration due to gravity depend on the mass of the cart?
No. On Earth the force of gravity or acceleration is always about 9.8m/sec^2 Earth's gravity does not change just because the cart gets heavier lighter.
What is the earth's gravitational constant?
At the Earth's surface, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2.
