If one consider the mass and the radius of the Earth constant, then the gravity produces a constant acceleration. This is Newton's Theory about Universal Gravition.

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


Why acceleration due to gravity becomes constant?

Acceleration due to gravity becomes constant when an object is in free fall because there is no external force acting on it to change its velocity. This leads to a constant acceleration towards the center of the Earth, known as the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2).


When is acceleration constant?

constant acceleration is when you gain the same speed over the same time


Is the acceleration cause by the gravity constant?

acceleration caused by gravity is not the same because it varies from the mass and the distance betwwen the two objects


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.


What will the mass and acceleration produce if the applied force is constant?

If the applied force is constant, the acceleration will also be constant. To know the actual amount of acceleration, you divide the force by the mass.


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.


What occurs when the objects free falls near earths surfaces?

Constant acceleration


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.


How do you calculate the acceleration of gravity?

The acceleration of gravity can be calculated using the formula a = 9.81 m/s^2, where "a" represents the acceleration due to gravity. This value is a constant for objects falling in Earth's gravitational field.


Does a rock falling from a cliff have a constant acceleration?

Yes. Every body that is falling, (if there is no other force then the gravity force) will fall in constant acceleration. Mass does not affect the acceleration of the body. According to Newton's second law: F=m*a m*g=m*a g=a F= Force m= mass a= acceleration g= gravity acceleration m*g= the force of gravity


How is acceleration due to gravity be zero in a parachute?

In the case of a parachute, the person and parachute fall at a constant speed once the forces acting on them are balanced. This means that the net acceleration, including gravity, is zero. Gravity is still acting on the person and parachute, but it is balanced by the drag force exerted by the parachute, resulting in a constant speed descent.
