Dropping a stone from a tall building is an example of acceleration due to gravity. The stone's speed will increase as it falls until it reaches terminal velocity.

Is equivalent to an objects mass times accleration due to gravity?

Weight.


The accleration due to gravity is?

The accepted value for acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2 (9.8 metres per second, per second)


Accleration due to gravity?

That means that when an object is ONLY subject to the force of gravity, and no other force (mainly, there must be no air resistance), the object will accelerate. This, in turn, means that the object's velocity will change.


What is the gain in speed of a freely falling object?

There is a uniform accleration of 9.8 m/s*s experienced by a free falling object, caused due to the earth's gravity.


How does upthrust depend on accleration due to gravity?

it depends on acceleration due to gravity as f=mg, when acceleration due to gravity increases the force acting also increases.when force acting increases it cancels the upward thrust(buoyant force)so the body sinks in the liquid.


Why is the accleration due to gravity same for all objects?

The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects because it is a constant value on Earth's surface. This value is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, regardless of the mass or size of the object. This uniform acceleration allows objects of different masses to fall at the same rate in a vacuum.


What is meant by the term weight?

Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It is a measure of the mass of an object and the acceleration due to gravity acting on it. Weight is commonly measured in units such as pounds or kilograms.


Disscuss the relationship between velocity and accleration?

accleration is the speed. Velocity is when you know the speed of an object and its direction.


What is meant by free?

"Free fall" in Physics refers to the acceleration due to gravity which is approximately 9.81 meters per second per second.


What is meant by acceleration due to gravity?

Earth being a massive body attracts every other massive body. This force of attraction is named as weight of the body. But force is equated to the expression m*a Here m is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration. So the general a is to be replaced by g a symbol meant for the acceleration due to gravity. Its average value is 9.8 m/s2


What is meant by moment coefficient about Centre of Gravity?

The moment coefficient about the center of gravity is a measure of an object's tendency to rotate due to an applied force. It is calculated by multiplying the force by the perpendicular distance from the center of gravity. It quantifies the torque or rotational force acting on an object.
