Acceleration due to Gravity 9.8 m/s 2 Near the surface of the Earth, all objects accelerate at the same rate (ignoring air resistance). a = -g = -9.8 m/s 2 a = -g = -9.8 m/s 2 Interpretation: Velocity decreases by 9.8 m/s each second, meaning velocity is becoming less positive or more negative. Less positive means slowing down while going up. More negative means speeding up while going down. This acceleration vector is the same on the way up, at the top, and on the way down!
