gRAVITY ACTS ON ALL OBJECTS ON THE EARTH'S SURFACE AND CAUSES THEM TO ACCELERATE WHEN RELEASED. THIS ACCELERATION. KNOWN AS THE ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY G, IS THE SAME FOR ALL OBJECTS ON EARTH AND IS EQUAL TO 9.8 m/s². THIS MEANS THAT WHEN OBJECTS FALL, THEIR VELOCITIES INCREASE BY 9.8 m/s every 1 second.
