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 the term acceleration?
acceleration is the rate of change of velocity as a function of time
When a body has velocity no constant has acceleration or no?
Yes. If a body has a constant velocity there is no acceleration, but if the velocity is changing there is acceleration present.
What is the acceleration of mass?
force acting on unit mass of body is the acceleration of that body.
What is the measure of a body's resistance to acceleration?
Mass measures the body's resistance to acceleration.
When a body has constnat velocity what is the acceleration?
The acceleration is zero for a body having constant velocity.
How can you recognise body getting into acceleration?
a body is accelerating if it is speeding up faster and faster. Acceleration is the change in velocity. or the change in speed. Slowing down is also acceleration but it is negative acceleration or de acceleration.
What is the difference between average acceleration and instantaneous acceleration?
Average acceleration is the average of the accelerations acquired in the whole journey by a body while instantaneous acceleration is the acceleration of the body at any particular instant of time.
Can a body at rest have acceleration?
No a boday while rest cannot be in acceleration because of the momentum of the body ...........................
How fast is the acceleration of a falling body?
if body is free falling state its acceleration would be 9.8meter/second2
What has an acceleration of 9.8?
acceleration of free fallilng body near to earth.
When a body stops mooving what happen to the acceleration?
Acceleration becomes zero.
