Explain the term "Acceleration due to gravity"

Physics
1 answer:
dem82 [27]2 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.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:Well according to the formula :

Fg = G • m1 • m2

__________

r^2

If one were to increase the masses of the objects it will have a direct impact on the gravitational force as well, as it increase the gravitational force. It is directly proportional to mass.

Distance on the other hand is inversely proportional to the gravitational force, basically increasing the distance between two objects of substantial mass causes a decrease of attraction or gravitational force between those 2 bodies of mass.
