Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration caused when Earth pulls any object downward towards itself. Earth has a natural tendency to exert a force on any object because of which reason every time we jump up, we eventually fall down on the ground. Acceleration due to gravity calculator is the online tool which can be used to find the changes in an object due to gravity.

Example 1: An object is thrown from the roof of a building. Find the time taken for it to reach the ground if it travels with a velocity of 80m/sec.

Acceleration = (final velocity – initial velocity)
Time

Since here the object is pulled downwards only by the earth, hence acceleration acting is due to gravity denoted by ‘g’.

Hence acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/sec² (is a constant)

So 9.8 = (80 – 0)
Time

Time = 80/9.8 Time = 80/9.8 = 8.16 m/sec²

Example 2: An object of mass 50kg is standing on the ground. Calculate the weight exerted by the object on the ground.

Mass of the object = 50kg

The equation given to find the weight of any object is W = m * g

where ‘W’ stands for weight, ‘m’ is the mass of the object

And ‘g’ is the acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/sec²

So, weight of the object = (mass of the person) * (g)

50kg * 9.8m/sec²=490 kg m/sec²

Weight of the object= 490N.

I just want you to know how great Brinda has been in tutoring me on probability. She is patient and very knowledgeable in all concepts. I look forward to many more sessions with her. I appreciate her help and the great work that Tutor Pace is doing.

I have enjoyed my session with Aparna and it was helpful. I will hope to see her as my Math tutor in future sessions as well.

Your tutor has been such an inspiration to me as I have difficulty getting some of the physics concepts down and truly understanding them. She takes the time to fully explain each and every aspect of any problem I might ask for help and always with encouragement and humor.
