Acceleration of Gravity On earth, motionless objects dropped from the same point will accelerate downward at the same speed. This is because the earth's gravity is pulling the object downward. Accleration g of a falling object will vary according to the point of origin; however, the approximate rate is g=9.8m/sec2.
