Gravitational Acceleration
Description
Gravity gives weight to physical objects and causes them to fall toward the ground when dropped.
If Μ is a point mass or the mass of a sphere with homogeneous mass distribution, the force field outside the sphere is isotropic, i.e., depends only on the distance r from the center of the sphere.
Gravitational Acceleration is the acceleration of an object caused by the force of gravity from another object.
Variables
a | Acceleration (m/s2) |
G | Newtonian constant of gravitation |
M | Mass (kg) |
r | Distance (m) |
