That is because Earth attracts objects with a certain force (through gravitation). If the gravitational force were more, the acceleration would be more. If the gravitational force were less, the acceleration would also be less.

What is the value in meter per second of the acceleration of gravity?

9.8


What is the mks unit for acceleration gravity?

The SI units are 'meter' for distance and 'second' for time. 'Acceleration' is a derived unit that uses both of them. it's [ meter/second2 ].


Acceleration due to gravity is usually equal to meter per second to the third power?

No.


How can you label an acceleration answer?

by giving the unit as meter per second square.


Why you write meter per second square in acceleration?

Because that's how it was found to calculate it.


What is the accepted value of the acceleration of gravity close to the surface of the earth?

The accepted value of the acceleration of gravity near the surface of the Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2.


What is the acceleration of the ball at the moment its traveling down to the ground?

The acceleration of the ball at that moment would be approximately equal to the acceleration due to gravity, which is about 9.81 m/s^2. This acceleration is acting downward towards the ground, assuming no other forces are acting on the ball.


What is the si unit of acceleration due to gravity g?

Acceleration due to gravity is expressed in the same units as any other acceleration ... Meters per second per second = m/s2 Also feet per second per second = ft/sec2 Any unit with dimensions of (length)/(time)2 is a valid unit of acceleration, such as (furlongs)/(fortnight)2


The SI unit for expressing gravity is?

There is no unit of "gravity". Gravity is described in terms of its effects, namely acceleration and force. SI unit of force: [ newton ] = 1 kilogram-meter/second2 SI unit of acceleration: meter/second2


Why don't all falling objects have an acceleration of 9.8 ms?

If gravity is the only force, they WILL have an acceleration of about 9.8 meter per second square, close to Earth's surface. However, there may be forces other than gravity involved - such as air resistance.


What are units of acceleration?

Acceleration has units of speed / time. The standard SI-unit is meter/second/second, usually written as meter/second2. Other units of distance/time/time can also be used, but it is convenient (for equations) to use a set of consistent units.


Why the acceleration of free fall is 9.8 meter per second square?

The acceleration of free fall is 9.8 meters per second squared because of the force of gravity acting on objects near the surface of the Earth. This acceleration is a result of the gravitational pull exerted by the Earth on all objects. It is a constant value that allows for consistent and predictable motion of objects in free fall.
