What is the rate at which objects are pulled down due to gravity?

The speed will not be constant. If air resistance is not significant, the speed of an object will increase about 9.8 meters per second every second. This is often expressed as an acceleration of 9.8 meters per square second.

∙ 13y agoThe force is called the weight. In everyday usage mass and weight are loosely given the same units (say, grams) but scientifically the gravitational force on a mass m is actually mg (dynes) where g is the acceleration due to gravity. The Newton's law "force = mass x acceleration" means that if you drop it, the acceleration "a" is given by mg = m x a so that a=g and it falls with acceleration "g"

9.8 meters per second (32.2 feet per second) every second. That means its
speed keeps increasing at that rate.

Why do all objects fall at the same time?
Because gravity pulls the masses down at the same rate.
What is the rate of the gravity accelerates objects on earth?
The acceleration due to gravity alone on Earth is about 9.81 meters per second-squared.
All objects change velocity as they move toward earth at a rate of 9.8 ms2 due to which factor of gravity?
acceleration
Did Einstein discover gravity?
No GaleleoAdditional answerNobody discovered gravity. Everyone in the world has always been under the influence of gravity, but never thought about it. Newton was the first person to do so.And Galileo did not discover gravity. What he did was to show that two objects of different weights would accelerate under gravity at the same rate. He dropped two objects from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to prove it.
Would two bowling balls hit the ground at the same time on the moon?
Yes. All objects fall at the same rate, but the rate varies depending on the force of gravity.
Why doesn't the Sun's gravity pull on objects on earth?
It does. Earth, along with everything on it is pulled toward the sun by gravity. However since they are all pulled in the same direction at the same rate, everything stays on Earth.
What is the amount of gravity pulling on an objects mass?
Gravity pulls everything down at a rate of 9.8 m/s2 .
Why do all objects fall at the same time?
Because gravity pulls the masses down at the same rate.
Does gravity attract all objects at the same rate?
True
Does gravity causes all falling objects to accelerate at the rate of 98?
The rate is 9.8m/sec
Does gravity force all objects downward at the same speed?
Gravity causes all objects to accelerate at the same rate in a vacuum. In air there is air resistance which can slow some objects down eg a parachute. So, yes, in a vacuum all objects reach the same speed in the same time period.
