 Acceleration due to gravity

  • The common use of the word "acceleration "refers to moving or increasing with high speed
  • But the actual meaning is the change of speed, i.e. change of velocity (by increasing or decreasing the speed)
The rate of change of velocity is acceleration.


A  = Final-Initial velocity 

          Time taken

As it has both magnitude and direction, it is a  vector quantity.

SI unit of acceleration is m/s2 or ms-2

A river system refers to a network of interconnected rivers that drain water from a particular region into a larger body of water, such as an ocean, sea, or another river. These systems are vital components of Earth's hydrological cycle, playing a crucial role in shaping landscapes, supporting ecosystems, and providing resources for human civilization. River systems typically consist of several key components: 1. **Main Channel**: This is the primary flow path of the river, often referred to as the river's "trunk." It is usually the largest and deepest part of the river, where the majority of the water flows. 2. **...
