On or near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration of gravity is
9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 .
It becomes less as you move away from the surface.

The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun exerts on the Earth?
Causes Earth's centripetal Acceleration........ WHS AOEC
The effect of gravity on matter is the measureof?
Mass determines the gravitational force of an object. Weight is a measurement of the gravitational force being exerted on an object.
What causes the oceans tides?
Earth's tides are caused by the interaction of:the gravitational pull of the moonthe gravitational pull of the sunthe rotation of the Earth
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center of earth?
All matter (something that has mass and takes up space) on and near Earth is subject to the pull from the Earth's gravitational field, with an acceleration rate of 9.8 m/sec. In other words, the Earth's gravity field is trying to pull every bit of matter toward the center of the Earth.

What is the planet earth's gravitational force?
This can be measured by the acceleration due to gravity at the surface. Earth's surface gravitational acceleration is about 9.8 m/s2
Why is the gravitational accleration of any object near Earth is the same?
The earth creates a gravitational acceleration field around the earth and objects in that field experience the same acceleration field.
What is the rate of acceleration of earth's center?
Earth's gravitational acceleration is approximately 9.8 m/s^2, or 1g.
What balances the gravitational attraction of the earth on a falling object?
acceleration
What is the earth's gravitational constant?
At the Earth's surface, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2.
What determines the size of gravitational force?
The mass of the object the force is acting on, and the gravitational acceleration where the force is acting. F = m*g, where F is the gravitational force, m is the mass of the object and g is the gravitational acceleration (on Earth it is about 9.81ms-2)
What is the gravitational acceleration of an object on the surface of the earth?
At or near the surface of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second per second
What is the difference between gravitational acceleration and acceleration?
Gravitational acceleration is simply acceleration due to gravity.
Value of gravitational acceleration in centimeter per seconds squared?
On Earth, that is about 980.
How do I find the distance an object is from the earth with only it's mass and weight in it's current position?
You divide the mass by the weight, to get the gravitational acceleration. Then you use the fact that this gravitational acceleration, or gravitational field, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. The distance should be calculated from the center of the Earth.
What is the effect of distance of freely falling body from the centre of earth on gravitational acceleration?
