Lesson 6:
ACCELERATION NEAR EARTH’S SURFACE
Learning Goals:
1. The symbol g is used to represent the Acceleration due to Gravity.
2. All objects in free fall close to Earth’s surface will accelerate toward Earth’s centre.
3. Air resistance can cause objects to accelerate at values less than g.
4. When an object reaches Terminal Velocity, it will fall at a constant velocity.
