What detects linear acceleration in the ear?

The utricle and macula are a part of the vestibular. Macula responds to linear acceleration and deceleration. So the vestibular detects linear acceleration.


What are similarities of uniform linear acceleration to acceleration due to gravity?

inertia and potential energy


Why do you calculate center of gravity?

If a force acts in a direction which passes through the centre of gravity of the object then it will impart no rotational acceleration; only linear acceleration.


Is a constant acceleration graph a linear equation?

Not necessarily. The equation of a projectile, moving under constant acceleration (due to gravity) is a parabola - a non-linear equation.


Gravity and linear acceleration are sensed in the?

The saccule and utricle maintain stability of the head and body when it's motionless or in linear movement.


Do otoliths detect linear acceleration?

Yes. A gelatinous cover, over tiny hairs in the saccule, which contain otholiths (ear stones) detects acceleration when they are bent during this movement.


Can force become gravity?

No. Gravity is a property of matter that produces force. But there's no way a force is going to 'become' gravity, although a constant linear acceleration would be indistinguishable from gravity.


Your perception of the pull of gravity and linear acceleration is the result of?

The pressure exerted by the Otolithic organ on hair cells of the Maculae.


What is the difference between uniform acceleration and constant acceleration?

Gravitational acceleration is defined as the acceleration of an object caused by the force of gravitation, where all small bodies accelerate in a gravitational field at the same rate relative to the center of mass. Uniform linear acceleration is when a body moves in a straight line and accelerates at a constant rate, and the body is said to have a uniformly accelerated linear motion.


How does Acceleration relate to gravity?

Not at all. However Gravity can impart an acceleration - Gravitational acceleration.


How acceleration effect gravity?

Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.


How does speed and acceleration effect gravity?

Speed or acceleration have no effect on gravity.
