That is the lowest point on the earth's land surface so this dramatic drop in just a very short geographical area.

这是地球陆地表面的最低点,这急剧下降是在很短的地理范围内。

One says, leave any body near the Earth, it yields a force.

有人说,在地球表面的任何物体,都会受到力的作用

So, when you divide by m, m cancels and everything falls at the same rate on the surface of the Earth.

因此,当等号两边除以 m 时,m 被消去了,在地球表面的所有物体,都以相同的加速度下落

For example, we know that if a body is near the surface of the Earth, the force of gravity of that object seems to be m times g, where g is 9.8.

例如,我们知道,如果在地球表面有一个物体,该物体受到的重力大小为 m 与 g 的乘积,g 等于 9.8

Right. The most famous example is that when things fall near the surface of the Earth, they all have the same acceleration, and the acceleration that's common is called g, and that's 9.8 m/s^.

最有名的例子就是,当物体地球表面附近下落时,它们都拥有相同的加速度,这个普遍的加速度叫做g,大小为9.8m/s^
