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.

Why is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge an ideal place for SWARM to collect electrical conductivity data?
ElenaW [278]

Answer: Mid-ocean ridges are geologically important because they occur along the kind of plate boundary where new ocean floor is created as the plates spread apart. Thus the mid-ocean ridge is also known as a "spreading center" or a "divergent plate boundary." The plates spread apart at rates of 1 cm to 20 cm per year.

What are similarities between the Rorschach inkblots and the TAT test?
Luden [163]
The Rorschach inkblots and the TAT (Thematic Appreciation Test) both rely on providing the subject with ambiguous visual stimuli and assessing the subject's state of mind using the subject's interpretation of the stimuli.
Both use cards, although not all of the cards are used in the TAT. Moreover, the TAT cards contain sketches, while the Rorschach inkblots contain patterns of ink.
