Here's why:
* Gravity is an acceleration: Gravity pulls objects towards each other. On Earth, this pull causes objects to fall towards the ground. This pull is measured as an acceleration, usually around 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s²).
* "1 over 10" is a ratio: It's a way of representing a fraction. It's not a measurement of gravity.
To understand the pull of gravity, you need to consider:
* The mass of the objects: The more massive the objects, the stronger the gravitational force between them.
* The distance between the objects: The closer the objects, the stronger the gravitational force.
Here's a simple example:
* If you drop an apple from a tree, the Earth's gravity pulls it down with an acceleration of approximately 9.8 m/s². This means the apple's speed increases by 9.8 meters per second every second it falls.
