acceleration of an object in free fall within a vacuum, without experiencing air drag

Description

At a fixed point on the surface of Earth, the gravity results from the combined effect of gravitation and the centrifugal force from Earth's rotation. At different points on Earth's surface, the free fall acceleration ranges from 9.764 to 9.834 m/s2.

Defining Formula: $\overrightarrow{g}\equiv -\frac{GM}{r^2}\overrightarrow{r}$

$M$ symbol represents earth mass

$r$ symbol represents earth radius

$G$ symbol represents gravitational constant

$g$ symbol represents gravitational acceleration
