gravity pulls at what speed and how fast dos it accelerate?

Answer 1

Check out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity

Note there is a difference between gravity and gravitation. The attraction varies depending on the mass of the two objects and the distance between the two objects.

Gravitational potential is discussed in the Wikipedia article; speed is not really a consideration.

How fast? On earth, objects fall at a speed of 32.2 feet/second squared or 9.81 meters/second squared. "Thus, an object starting from rest will attain a speed of 9.81 m/s after one second, 19.62 m/s after two seconds, and so on."

Gravity And Speed

Answer 3

gravity acts downtowards the earts surface.

its acceleration = 9.8 meter per second squared

.......... this is the average force of gravity accepted globally. But, near the poles the gravity is more and near the equater its a little lesser, this is because of the shape of the earth.

This acceleration is a constant and does not depend on the mass of the object it is acting on.

When we are calculating, we use accelretion due to gravity as 9.8 meters per second square.

Answer 4

in one second, the object falls 32 feet. Each second thereafter, it falls an additional 32 feet; so, after the third second, it has fallen 32+64+96.....

The rate decreases very slightly as you move from the equator toward the poles. Once you pass sea level, the rate of acceleration decreases (because there is less mass of the earth under you.

Answer 5

Gravity is acceleration downward...there is no speed component to it.

Acceleration = negative gravity = negative meters per squared seconds.
( on earth)

Speed would have the label Meters per second.

Answer 6

The acceration of gravity is about 32 feet/second^2 or 9.8 meters/second^2

Answer 7

It pulls at about the speed of light, that is to say, if the sun were to suddenly cease to exist, the planets would not leave their orbital pthas until about the same time that the light from the sun ceased to reach them.
Acceleration depends on where in the universe you are, as direction.

Answer 8

The force of gravity depends on the distance of the object from the Earth. of course if you are considering earth's gravity. On north pole it is 9.83 m/sec. square. on equator it is 9.78. avg gravity is 9.8 m/sec square. Every second velocity ( we call as speed.) increases by 9.8 m/s

Answer 9

The speed increases by 9.8 Meters per second every second.
After 1 second = you travelled 9.8 meters.
In the next second, you travelled 19.6 meters, 9.8 + 19.6 = 29.4 meters in two seconds!

Of couse, factor in air resistance, as this will slow down your speed (this is why a feather drops slower than a brick - remove the air and they drop at the same speed).

Answer 10

gravities speed depends on the mass
