I don't see the relation between object size and gravitational pull... The 
gravity determines the acceleration of an object. -9.7 means that every 
object in the world has a continues acceleration. Every second the speed of 
an object is increased by 9.7 meters per second (or units). Size or mass 
don't matter. Gravity is a force of course, but the force is larger on larger 
objects.
