What is the difference between inertial and gravitational acceleration.?
99522
Your question can be answered with the following quote.  Basically the difference is in the fact that gravitational acceleration is proporationally the the two objects being studied, whereas inertial aceleration refers cheifly to a single object being accelerated without regard to another mass.\n\nQuestion\n\nWhat is the difference between the inertial and gravitational mass?\n\nAsked by: Raminder\n\nAnswer\n\n1) Inertial mass. This is mainly defined by Newton's law, the all-too-famous F = ma, which states that when a force F is applied to an object, it will accelerate proportionally, and that constant of proportion is the mass of that object. In very concrete terms, to determine the inertial mass, you apply a force of F Newtons to an object, measure the acceleration in m/s2, and F/a will give you the inertial mass m in kilograms. \n\n2) Gravitational mass. This is defined by the force of gravitation, which states that there is a gravitational force between any pair of objects, which is given by \n\nF = G m1 m2/r2 \n\nwhere G is the universal gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between them. This, in effect defines the gravitational mass of an object. \n\nAs it turns out, these two masses are equal to each other as far as we can measure. Also, the equivalence of these two masses is why all objects fall at the same rate on earth.

The amswer would actually depend on what the diameter of the hoop is with respect to the moment of intertia of the sphere is.  If the hoop diamter is large and most of the mass is concentrated farther from the center of the hoop then the hoop will have more angular inertia than the sphere.  If, on the other hand, the hoop has a small diameter and is a long cylinder, then the sphere will have a higher moment of angular intertia.

They are not equal. They variates both over the inverted squared distance, but the gravitational force is F=(m1*m2)/μ*r^2 (F is force, m is pole strength, μ is the permeability of the intervening medium, r is the separation) and the gravitational force is F= -G*(m1*m2)/r^2 (G is the gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of the first object, m2 is the mass of the second object, r is the distance between objects). Indeed, those two forces have similarities in the formula, but they are distinct.

A gravimeter is a device designed to measure the local gravitational field. Also sometimes called a gravitometer, a gravimeter is a type of accelerometer. According to the equivalence principle of Albert Einstein, the effects of a gravitational field are rigorously equivalent to acceleration. Therefore, gravimeters are susceptible to vibration which causes small, oscillatory accelerations. This is counteracted by integral vibration isolation and signal processing.

acceleration is the increase in velocity per unit of time.  As velocity has units of length per time (m/s) then acceleration has units of length per time - per time (m/s^2)\n\n- it can be measured in any units of length per time per time.

Hi Alan the 1st!\nWe neglect the central aperture in CD, then inertia momentum is I=m*r^2/2 for any homogeneous disk, m=0.017kg, r=0.06m. Torq T=I*w’, w’ is angular acceleration, while w=w’*t, w=22 rad/s, t=0.88s, thus T=m*r^2*(w/t)/2, - plug in the proper numbers, be a good boy!

Yes. First law defines inertia, namely inability of a mass to change its state whether at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. The measure of inertia is the mass of the body. That is the first law.\nAs per the second law force=mass* acceleration,which takes place in the direction of force. Imagine a trivial case when force is zero. The acceleration has to be zero since the mass is never zero. In other words first law is a trivial case of second law when applied force is zero.

newtons are the unit of force.  the second law of motion says that F=ma, where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration of the mass.   so, you need to know the acceleration!\n\nif you are talking about an object on earth, then the acceleration is "g", which is 9.8 m/s^2.  so multiply the mass times that acceleration to get the force with which gravity pulls on that object, in newtons.

inertia is a property of a body with mass... inertia is the resistance to motion....\n\nconservation of energy maybe...\nin the system stated, it's a non-elastic collision in which the like 99.9% of the energy of the first pool ball is transferred to the second pool ball.....\n\nthe situation is not clear.\nmoving first ball and moving second ball or one is at rest????

'G' is representation for Gravitational constant, by defination it is universal constant, it does not change.\n\n'g' on the other hand is used for accelaration due to gravity. Never write it as G, it is always in miniscule. g force is given by the formula\n\ng = G*m/r, \n\njust put in the values of G (6.6742 x 10^-11 m3 kg-1 s-2), mass of sun (1.9891×10^30 kg) and radius of sun (1.392×10^6 km). Where ^ means, raised to the power. I'd love to solve it for you but I am not sure it might be your homework. Anyway, do let me know what the answer is.

Measurements. The acceleration of gravity is:\ng = G*m/R^2\nWhere G is the gravitational constant 6.67*10^-11 N*m^2/s^2, m is the mass of the planet, and R is the distance between yourself and the planet. For the surface of the Earth, m and R are approximately:\nMe = 5.97*10^24 kg\nRe = 6.38*10^6 m\nUsing this, you should get about 9.8 m/s^2.

The equation for finding inertial mass is: m = F/a\n\nA known force F is applied, and acceleration (m/s^2) a is measured.

One common unit of acceleration is g, one g being the acceleration caused by the gravity of Earth at sea level at 45° latitude (Paris), or about 9.81 m/s².\nThe acceleration due to gravity denoted g (also gee, g-force or g-load) is a non-SI unit of acceleration defined as exactly 9.80665 m/s², which is approximately equal to the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface at sea level.\n\nThe symbol g is properly written in lowercase and italic, to distinguish it from the symbol G, the gravitational constant, which is always written in uppercase; and from g, the abbreviation for gram, which is not italicized.\n\nThis conventional value was established by the 3rd CGPM (1901, CR 70). The total acceleration is found by vector addition of the opposite of the actual acceleration (in the sense of rate of change of velocity) and a vector of 1 g downward for the ordinary gravity (or in space, the gravity there). For example, being accelerated upward with an acceleration of 1 g doubles the experienced gravity. Conversely, weightlessness means an acceleration of 1 g downward in an inertial reference frame.\n\nThe value of g defined above is an arbitrary midrange value on the Earth, approximately equal to the sea level acceleration of free fall at a geodetic latitude of about 45.5°; it is larger in magnitude than the average sea level acceleration on Earth, which is about 9.797 645 m/s². The standard acceleration of free fall is properly written as gn (sometimes g0) to distinguish it from the local value of g that varies with position.\n\nThe units of acceleration due to gravity, meters per second squared, are interchangeable with newtons per kilogram. The quantity, 9.806 65, stays the same. These alternate units may be more helpful when considering problems involving pressure due to gravity, or weight.

I think F is the answer. Taking acceleration due to gravity is constant at 9.81ms^-2, but this assumes that air resistance is neglected, and g is a constant.\n\nIf air resistance is NOT neglected, and acceleration due to gravity is not taken to be constant, H is the correct answer. The rest of the options are wrong.
