IOW if you turn an object loose with only its weight acting on its mass,
it accelerates downward at one "gee."

I'm reasonably sure that was written extemporaneously.  Any engineering

To impress you, must one now memorize all the proofs and calculations?
That seems a bit excessive.  Do you memorize everything?  I don't,
mostly because my memory is not as good as when I was young.
Secondarily, because I don't like distributing potentially wrong
proofs and calculations.  If you have memorized everything, I too
would be very impressed.

If only you knew how force, mass, and acceleration worked you could
also write out an explanation similar to that of Prof. Krygowski.
