Is gravity a velocity or accelaration?

Well, F=MA

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Force takes into consideration Mass and Acceleration.

Acceleration is M/S2

Force is M2/S2

Acceleration is how much an object is speeding up. Force is how much impact the object will have when it collides with something. When an adult hits you with the same acceleration as that of a child, the hit of the adult will hurt more (feel harder). Why? This is because there is more mass to the hand of an adult than to that of a child.

The gravitation or the gravitational force of an object is the force, with which it attracts every other object in the universe.

(e.g. - the gravitational force of sun is greater than that of the earth.)

Gravity, however, refers just to the gravitational force of the Earth only.

(e.g. - the gravity of the earth do not let the objects on it, float in the air. )

Their almost the same, because acceleration is because of gravity.

Both. Gravitational energy E= - GmM/r + mcV creates a velocity field, v=sqrt(GM/r). The gravitational force creates an acceleration a= GM/r^2.

When an object falls through the air and encounters air resistance its overall speed will be?

Terminal Velocity. This is the velocity at which the accelaration from Earth's gravity and the drag from air resistance reaches equillibrium.


What do you mean by accelaration?

Acceleration is any change in velocity.


Why accelaration due to gravity on moon is less than accelaration due to gravity on earth?

Because the earth is much more heavier than the moon.


What is zero accelaration?

Is The rate at which velocity changes with time is called accelaration?

Yes!!!


When velocity zero and accelaration is possative what is the object in motion?

freefall


Why does your car stalls while accelaration?

the rate at which velocity changes velocity=speed in a given direction


Can a body have zero velocity with nonzero accelaration?

Yes, but only for an instant.


When velocity is zero and accelaration is possative what happen the object in motion?
