An object will fall 32ft in the first second, 64ft in the second second, and so on.Man... I was just reading "gravity is a constant..." when a huge racket on the other side of the kitchen drew my attention; a picture fell completely off the wall, breaking its glass, and also knocking a ceramic medallion-style ornament that was beneath it off the wall, breaking it too.
But please translate, "32ft/sec/sec" for me -- is that "32 ft per second per second"? And if so, why "per second" times 2?

Nope is the same on Beta Triangula 6.
Admittedly I have to been to all the planets but have been assured by experts that is it the same in this universe. Except for around some singularities where most things are wonky (scientific term).
Your own space probes to other planets have proven that at least for this Solar System gravity is the same.

Ok, I guess I understand now.
The picture that initially fell, it's a goner; the glass is broken, and the frame came apart. The ceramic medallion, other than a little chipping around the edge, mostly on the back of it, I think I can glue back together, as the major break is just straight across it, and none of the chippage seems to be along that major break. Which pleases me, because the initial picture was a hand-me-down, but the medallion was a housewarming gift when we first moved here.
You can see a tiny bit of the chipping damage on the left side, but it doesn't mar the look of it too much. I'll get my handy-dandy husband to glue it back together for me when he gets home.. and see if anything can be done about the bent/broken hanger on the back.

yes the planets mass differs but the formula is the same based on mass down to the smallest particle.
so yes you are correct in the acceleration figures.
But then I am just a student on a primitive cultures field trip.
Not a scientist.
I had almost the same thing happen a while back. My mom had the mirror on the wall, it was held up by another bracket that was actually mounted to the wall, then the mirror portion was hooked onto that. So one day we hear a loud crash and the plastic around the mirror shattered to pieces but not the mirror. The mount was still on the wall, with all the pins bent downwards, as in it looked like someone grabbed a hold of it, and just yanked it down. Was very strange, wish I had the pics to better show how it was mounted together..Ok, I guess I understand now.

How can the acceleration figures be correct if you havent figured in the coefficient of drag? Without that in the equation then your just tootling in the wind
Yes it is but don't leave it outside.
It was that temperature here last night and some snow yesterday.
