While the acceleration due to gravity is constant near the surface of the Earth, the force of gravity acting on an object depends on its mass.

Here's why:

* Acceleration due to gravity (g): This is a constant value (approximately 9.8 m/s²) near the Earth's surface. It means all objects, regardless of their mass, fall at the same rate in a vacuum.

* Force of gravity (F): This is calculated using the formula F = mg, where:

* F is the force of gravity

* m is the mass of the object

* g is the acceleration due to gravity

Therefore, a heavier object will experience a greater force of gravity than a lighter object, even though they both experience the same acceleration due to gravity.
