### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Acceleration**: - Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. It indicates how quickly an object is speeding up or slowing down. 2. **Gravitational Force**: - When an object is influenced by the force of gravity, it experiences a specific type of acceleration. This acceleration is due to the gravitational pull exerted by a massive body, such as the Earth. ...
