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.

States that Earth processes today are similar to those that took place in the past
Maslowich

Answer;

Uniformitarianism

Explanation;

-Uniformitarianism is the principle suggesting that Earth's geologic processes acted in the same manner and with essentially the same intensity in the past as they do in the present and that such uniformity is sufficient to account for all geologic change.  For example, at an active volcano we can observe lava cooling to form layers of basalt.

James Hutton suggested that deep soil profiles were formed by the weathering of bedrock over thousands of years. He also suggested that supernatural theories were not needed to explain the geologic history of the Earth.
