This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational field" and list it in units of: ...

Why? Drag (air resistance) opposes acceleration due to gravity. In a vacuum, such as on the Moon, both objects will hit the ground at the same time. How does gravity work?

The acceleration due to gravity depends on how quickly your potential changes as you move (pauli's broad and deep but gradual well, vs small but steep well -- it's always amused me that we use a ...

According to Michael Brooks, we don’t know what gravity is (13 June, p 28). However, in 1992 I proposed a theory to explain its origin (Europhysics Letters, vol 17, p 1). Gravity is the result ...
