Free fall is the term in Newtonian physics used to describe the motion of an object under the influence of gravity alone. Such an object moves along a geodesic. One example of an object always in free fall is Earth's moon.
The attraction of the earth on the thrown object is called 'Gravitational attraction' or 'gravity' , and the change in velocity of the object , as the result of this attraction , is known as 'Acceleration due to gravity'
is said to be in free fall
Free fall.
Motion under the influence of gravity alone is called free fall. In free fall, an object is only acted upon by the force of gravity, causing it to accelerate towards the Earth at a constant rate.
When an object is in free fall, gravity is the only force acting on it. This occurs when the object is falling under the influence of gravity alone, with no other forces like air resistance or drag affecting its motion.
The downward component of the motion of a projectile is influenced by the initial velocity and angle of launch, resulting in a curved path known as a projectile motion. In contrast, free fall refers to the vertical motion of an object under the influence of gravity alone, where the acceleration is constant and the path is straight.
An object in uniform motion will continue moving at a constant velocity without any net force acting on it. Additionally, an object in free fall will move under the influence of gravity alone, and does not require any other forces to be in motion.
Projectile motion is similar to free falling motion because both involve objects moving under the influence of gravity alone. In both cases, the only force acting on the object is gravity, causing it to accelerate downward at a constant rate (9.81 m/s^2). This results in a parabolic trajectory for projectiles and straight vertical motion for free falling objects.
Motion under the influence of gravity alone is called free fall. In free fall, an object is only acted upon by the force of gravity, causing it to accelerate towards the Earth at a constant rate.
Gravity acts alone to produce avalanches and landslides. When the force of gravity exceeds the strength of the material holding it in place on a slope, the material will move downhill in the form of an avalanche or landslide.
Air does not affect gravity directly, as gravity is a force of attraction between objects with mass. However, air resistance can have an impact on the motion of objects falling through the air, as it opposes the force of gravity and can slow down the object's descent.
The type of erosion that occurs when gravity alone causes rock or sediment to move down a slope is called mass movement. The types of mass movement are creep, slump, rock slides, and mudflows.
No. Wind & gravity can do it alone.
Gravity alone can not do this, it must be combined with the actions of water, or ice.The terminologies associated with this that you are looking for are :-solifluctioncreepcamberslidingslumpingrotational shearturbidites
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is about 9.81 m/s^2. This means that every second, objects in free fall near Earth's surface will increase their speed by 9.81 meters per second.
Free falling isn't actually related to force, when you free fall you are falling because of gravity, gravity is one of the four known forces, but gravity is simply the warping of the fabric of space and time, you fall because the earth streches that fabric, and you fall or sink into it, like a bowling ball on a trampoline. There are no forces acting on you, rather you are simply moving with the fabric which you exist in, which has been warped by the force of gravity. Free Fall is where an object whose motion is due to gravity ALONE.
sadly none forever alone
GRAVITY- may be the weakest force of nature, but it acts on all materials and in all places
It is half the reason, at least. Gravity is the force pulling the planets towards the sun, but they also have a velocity working perpendicular to it. With the velocity alone, the planets would fly off into space. With gravity alone, the planets would be pulled into the sun.
Gravity will bend (influence) the path of photons (light). This effect is minimal: you would need A LOT of mass (like a black hole or a neutron star) and a very long distance for the photon to travel and to be measured to notice this effect. It is a little strange, as photons are considered to be massless, and should not be influenced by the mass (gravity) of another object. 1. Photons have energy; energy is mass (more or less); mass is affected by gravity. 2. Photons are probably affected by gravity, but you have to worry about refraction of light about a star. So, I think, the total angle is not due to gravity alone. Of course, maybe refraction is a gravity thing?
