The "acceleration of gravity" (involved in the "force of gravity") never contributes to proper acceleration in any circumstances, and thus the proper acceleration felt by observers standing on the ground is due to the mechanical force from the ground, not due to the "force" or "acceleration" of gravity. If the ground is removed and the observer ...
Acceleration has the dimensions of velocity (L/T) divided by time, i.e. L T −2. The SI unit of acceleration is the metre per second squared (m s −2); or "metre per second per second", as the velocity in metres per second changes by the acceleration value, every second.
The gravitational acceleration vector depends only on how massive the field source is and on the distance 'r' to the sample mass . It does not depend on the magnitude of the small sample mass. This model represents the "far-field" gravitational acceleration associated with a massive body.

The weight of an object on Earth's surface is the downwards force on that object, given by Newton's second law of motion, or F = m a (force = mass × acceleration). Gravitational acceleration contributes to the total gravity acceleration, but other factors, such as the rotation of Earth, also contribute, and, therefore, affect the weight of the ...
When an object experiences a constant acceleration of one metre per second squared (1 m/s 2) from a state of rest, it achieves the speed of 5 m/s after 5 seconds and 10 m/s after 10 seconds.
The producer price index released on February 13 reported a similar acceleration of prices producers are paid for goods and services, rising 0.4% from the previous month and 3.5% for the 12 months ...
During the first 0.05 s the ball drops one unit of distance (about 12 mm), by 0.10 s it has dropped at total of 4 units, by 0.15 s 9 units, and so on. Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.807 m/s 2 ( metres per second squared , which might be thought of as "metres per second, per second"; or 32.18 ft/s 2 as "feet ...
