    Is gravity cumulative

    When an object is falling, assuming only gravity is pulling on it. Does gravity accumulate on the acceleration, like after 2 seconds in the air is the object accelerating at 9.81*2 or is it still accelerating at 9.81 but has a velocity of 9.81*2??

    I believe it has to be cumulative or else -- things seem to float funny in my physics simulator.
