The force of gravity produces acceleration in all C. freely falling objects and this is known as acceleration due to gravity
Explanation:
A body is said to be in free fall when there is only one force acting on the body: the force of gravity.
Gravity is a force that acts downward, i.e. towards the Earth's centre.
If we are near the Earth's surface, the magnitude of the force of gravity on a body is given by
where:
m is the mass of the body
g is known as the acceleration of gravity , whose value near the Earth's surface is ).
We can apply Newton's second law on an object in free-fall, to find its acceleration. In fact, we have:
where F is the force acting on the body and a is its acceleration.
Solving for the acceleration,
And substituting F,
Therefore, every object in free-fall accelerates at towards the ground.

Answer:
7 units, north
Explanation:
This is a problem of vector subtraction. We have:
- Vector A: magnitude 2 units, direction to the north
- Vector B: magnitude 5 units, direction to the south
If we take the north as positive direction, we can write
Since we want to find (vector subtraction), we have to change the sign of B, so we find:
And the positive sign means the direction is north.
