Is mass x gravity equal to an objects acceleration?

Well, first let's look at what gravity is. If we consider "gravity" as gravitational force, then force=mass x acceleration, and mass x gravity does NOT equal acceleration. Acceleration is the change of velocity, so an object could accelerate without being affected by gravity, maybe just another force, like jet engines or something. Basically, no.


Without air resistance all objects regardless of their size and mass experience the same acceleration of gravity?

True


What is the difference between weightless and mass less?

weightless means mass without acceleration of gravity massless means no mass and hence no weight even with gravity acceleration WEIGHT = MASS x ACCELERATION In orbit around earth where apparent zero-gravity exists you are weightless, but still have mass


What is the effect of mass of freely falling body on the gravitational acceleration?

No effect whatsoever. Without air to interfere with the effects of gravity, a small feather and a large rock fall with the same acceleration.


Is the a way to replicate gravity?

Acceleration has exactly the same effect as gravity. A way to get continuous acceleration in outer space without continuously spending energy is through rotation - for example, a large rotating "wheel", as shown in the movie "2001 - a Space Odissey", among others.


When drawing the graph of distance vs time squared how do you calculate the the acceleration due to gravity?

Example: x axis = time, y axis = distance, plot values of s, when t = say 0 to 10, step 1 > If time is the variable, and distance the dependent, you should have been given a figure for acceleration (g), without which, you cant plot the graph. > Acceleration due to earths gravity (g) at earths surface radius is generally taken as = 9.82 metres per second / per second. > Use: s = (u*t) + (0.5 * g * t2) > where: s = distance u = initial velocity g = acceleration due to gravity (9.82 (m/s)/s) t = elapsed time


Why gravity considered as acceleration?

This is a pretty deep question, and it is what prompted Albert Einstein to formulate his theory of general relativity. The basic is the so-called equivalence principle, that acceleration and gravity are the same. Einstein became to understand that there is no local way to distinguish gravity from uniform acceleration. A thought experiment would be you inside a closed up room. Without any way to look or detect anything outside the room you will not be able to distinguish whether the room is inside a gravitational field or uniformly accelerating. No experiment that can be carried out locally can make the distinction either. As such gravity and acceleration has to be the same. In fact acceleration inherits all the hallmarks from gravity, including gravitational time dilatation!


What is the difference between a mineral's density and its specific gravity?

Specific Gravity is a pure number without units while density can be any number including those with decimal places with units.


What will be the acceleration due to gravity or its surface when earth contracts half of its present size without change its mass?

The current acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second per second, or 9.8 meters per second per second. The "inverse square" equations for gravity and distance indicate that if the mass remains constant while the radius is cut in half, the force of gravity would increase by a factor of four. So the new acceleration due to gravity would be 128 feet per second per second, or 39.2 meters per second per second.


The ratio of the earths gravity to the suns gravity?

No meaningful comparison is possible without specifying that the distance from both bodies will be the same at the moment of measurement. If you measured the acceleration due to gravity (or your weight) some distance from the sun, and then measured the acceleration due to gravity (or your weight) at the same distance from the Earth, you would find that the measurement in the vicinity of the sun is about 332,982 times the corresponding measurement at the Earth. It doesn't matter what the distance is, as long as both are the same.


Can there be buoyancy without gravity Explain?

There cannot be buoyancy without gravity because without gravity there will be no pressure.


How do you solve the square root of 78 to one decimal place?

Deductive reasoning, trial and error. The square root of 78 will be between 8 and 9, closer to 9. 8.7 squared = 75.7 8.8 squared = 77.4 8.9 squared = 79.2 8.8 is the closest without going over.
