This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational field" and list it in units of: ...

The acceleration due to gravity depends on how quickly your potential changes as you move (pauli's broad and deep but gradual well, vs small but steep well -- it's always amused me that we use a ...

The force is the force due to gravity, pulling the coin down to the ground, and the acceleration describes the coin's motion due to this force. The force due to gravity is a constant, at least here on ...

When Da Vinci set up his experiment, he focused specifically on the acceleration of the falling objects by pouring a large number of granules or possibly water droplets from a pitcher which was ...

AN absolute determination of the acceleration due to gravity at a site in the National Physical Laboratory has recently been completed. It is the first to be made by timing the symmetrical up-and ...

He did this because it was easier to calculate acceleration on certain things, however he had also different objects accelerating differently (due to moments of inertia).
