The force of gravity produces acceleration in all C. freely falling objects and this is known as acceleration due to gravity
Explanation:
A body is said to be in free fall when there is only one force acting on the body: the force of gravity.
Gravity is a force that acts downward, i.e. towards the Earth's centre.
If we are near the Earth's surface, the magnitude of the force of gravity on a body is given by
[tex]F=mg[/tex]
where:
m is the mass of the body
g is known as the acceleration of gravity , whose value near the Earth's surface is [tex]9.8 m/s^2[/tex]).
We can apply Newton's second law on an object in free-fall, to find its acceleration. In fact, we have:
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
where F is the force acting on the body and a is its acceleration.
Solving for the acceleration,
[tex]a=\frac{F}{m}[/tex]
And substituting F,
[tex]a=\frac{mg}{m}=g=9.8 m/s^2[/tex]
Therefore, every object in free-fall accelerates at [tex]9.8 m/s^2[/tex] towards the ground.
