Gravitational acceleration gg is the rate of change of speed of a body with mass mm released in the gravitational field of another object with mass MM. The gravitational acceleration can be found by Newton's law of universal gravitation in terms of distance between the centers of mass of the objects RR, mass of the object that creates the gravitational field, and universal gravitational constant GG:


mg=GMmR2, g=GMR2.mg=G\dfrac{Mm}{R^2},\\\space\\ g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}.
