The force of gravity produces acceleration in all C. freely falling objects and this is known as acceleration due to gravity
Explanation:
A body is said to be in free fall when there is only one force acting on the body: the force of gravity.
Gravity is a force that acts downward, i.e. towards the Earth's centre.
If we are near the Earth's surface, the magnitude of the force of gravity on a body is given by
![F=mg](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%3Dmg)
where:
m is the mass of the body
g is known as the acceleration of gravity , whose value near the Earth's surface is
).
We can apply Newton's second law on an object in free-fall, to find its acceleration. In fact, we have:
![F=ma](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%3Dma)
where F is the force acting on the body and a is its acceleration.
Solving for the acceleration,
![a=\frac{F}{m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%3D%5Cfrac%7BF%7D%7Bm%7D)
And substituting F,
![a=\frac{mg}{m}=g=9.8 m/s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%3D%5Cfrac%7Bmg%7D%7Bm%7D%3Dg%3D9.8%20m%2Fs%5E2)
Therefore, every object in free-fall accelerates at
towards the ground.

Answer:
The correct option is;
E. motion of tectonic plates.
Explanation:
The Moon is formed from the Earth, and so have similar composition. However, the smaller size of the moon as well as the low temperature of the Moon's mantle compared to the interior of the earth, contribute the state of the Moon having no active tectonic plate motion and no convection.
The convection in the mantle, drives Earth's tectonic plate motions. The mantle within Earth moves at a rate of some centimeters annually, while the Moon, geologically is a dying world.
Answer:
Kinematics is a <em>subfield of physics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move.</em>
