Which of the following statements are true about the acceleration of gravity? Identify all that apply. The acceleration of gravity experienced by objects located near to (and far from) from the earth depends upon the mass of the object. The acceleration of gravity experienced by objects located near to (and far from) from the earth depends upon the mass of the Earth. The acceleration of gravity experienced by objects located near to (and far from) the earth is inversely related to the distance between the center of the object and the center of the earth. Increasing the mass of an object will increase the acceleration of gravity experienced by the object. Doubling the distance between an object and the earth's center will decrease the acceleration of gravity by a factor of four. The acceleration of an orbiting satellite is equal to the acceleration of gravity at that particular location. If the mass of the Earth were doubled (without an alteration in its radius), then the acceleration of gravity on its surface would be approximately 20 m/s2. If the mass of the Earth were doubled and the radius of the earth were doubled, then the two changes would offset each other and the acceleration of gravity on its surface would still be approximately 10 m/s2.
