Explain the term "Acceleration due to gravity"

Physics
1 answer:
dem82 [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

"Acceleration due to gravity" typically refers to the increase in speed of a falling object due to the gravitational pull of the Earth. If jump out of a plane, your speed increases towards the Earth (or the center of the Earth really) due to the acceleration of gravity. If you throw a ball up in the air, it slows down and falls due to the acceleration of gravity.

I guess it's specified because the force of gravity is causing the acceleration in these instances; as opposed to some other outside force.

Which part of earths surface has the greatest rotational speed
Anni [7]
Every point on the surface must have the same rotational speed.
Otherwise some places would rotate away from other places.

If the next block of your city rotated faster than the block that you live on,
then you could sit at home, look out the window, and watch your school
rotate past your house.

The map of the continents on the Earth would change constantly.
