Why does an object accelerate when it falls toward as the earth's surface?

An object accelerates when it falls towards the Earth's surface due to the force of gravity acting on it. Gravity pulls the object towards the center of the Earth, causing it to increase in speed as it falls.


What is an object in free fall will accelerate toward the earth at 9.81MS's?

An object in free fall will accelerate towards the Earth at a rate of 9.81 m/s^2, due to the gravitational force acting on it. This acceleration is constant for all objects in free fall near the surface of the Earth, regardless of their mass.


Why do objects accelerate during free fall?

Earth's gravity pulls all objects toward its center of mass, or in most cases toward the surface. Gravity is a property of matter,and causes every mass to exert a force on every other mass. In this case, the Earth's gravity applies a force to every object on it, and that force will accelerate an object toward the Earth's center, unless it is prevented by some intervening mass. It will still have the potential to accelerate again if the intervening mass is removed.


When an object moves in a circle what acts to accelerate the object torward the center of that circle?

The centripetal force acts to accelerate the object toward the center of the circle. This force is directed inward and is required to keep the object moving in a circular path. It is provided by tension, gravity, friction, or any force that is directed towards the center of rotation.


What does gravity do to objects that fall toward earth?

Gravity pulls objects toward the center of the Earth, causing them to accelerate as they fall. This acceleration increases their speed until they reach the ground or another surface.

Does pressure increase from earths surface toward the center of earth?

Yes.

What force pulls an object down a slide?

when you're going on a slide you are being pulled toward the ground so it would be gravity.


What is the direction of acceleration for an object in the air?

Heavier than air objects accelerate downwards. Lighter than air objects accelerate upwards until they are no lighter than the air around them.


In terms of speed and direction in which ways can an object accelerate?

Gravity will make any flying object accelerate toward the ground. A force behind a projectile makes it accelerate until the force is removed. When I throw a rock it accelerates until it leaves my hand. A bullet accelerates when the explosion behind it expands the gas.
