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.

True or False: If the part you are designing is completely symmetric, you can complete the part by designing just half of the pa

Lana71 [14]

Given what we know, the statement that "if the part you are designing is completely symmetric, you can complete the part by designing just half of the part and using one mirror feature" is true.

<h3>Why is this statement true?</h3>

Symmetry is when something is exactly the same on either side.

This line can be drawn anywhere but is most commonly a vertical line splitting the object in question down the middle.

Since the object is identical on both sides, using a mirror to flip the completed half to the other side, will effectively give you the finished product.

Therefore, given that when something is entirely and perfectly symmetric it will be exactly the same on either side, it is true to say that by designing half of the end product and using a mirror effect to flip it to the other side, you can complete it.
