What are (1) free fall,(2) acceleration due to gravity,(3) escape velocity,(4) centripetal force
Answers
Answer:
1.Free Fall
Downward movement under the force of gravity.
2. Acceleration due to Gravity
Gravitational acceleration is the free fall acceleration of an object in vacuum — without any drag. This is the steady gain in speed caused exclusively by the force of gravitational attraction.
3.Escape Velocity
The lowest velocity which a body must have in order to escape the gravitational attraction of a particular planet or other object
4.Centripetal Force
A force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the centre around which the body is moving.

Answer:
(1) Free fall - when a body falls towards the earth under the influence of the earth's gravity alone its motion is called free fall.
(2) Acceleration due to gravity - the gravitational force due to the earth on a body results in its acceleration. This is called acceleration due to gravity.
(3) Escape velocity - The minimum initial velocity needed by an object projected upwards to overcome earth's gravitational force and not fall back on earth is called escape velocity.
(4) Centripetal force - the force that acts on any object moving along a circle and is directed towards the centre of the circle is called centripetal force.
