if by some suitable mechanism the falling body had been given an initial downward push instead of just being released, would the resulting value of (g) acceleration due to gravity have been different?why?

tnx....please answer it...

To understand if the acceleration due to gravity (g) would be different if a falling body is given an initial downward push, let's consider the following explanation:

When an object is falling freely under the influence of gravity, the acceleration (g) it experiences is determined solely by the gravitational field strength of the planet or celestial body it is on. On Earth, the standard value of acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s²).

Now, if the falling body has an initial downward push in addition to the force of gravity, the question is whether this initial push affects the acceleration due to gravity. The answer is no, it does not.

The reason for this is that the acceleration due to gravity is a constant value for a specific planet or celestial body. It does not depend on the initial velocity or any additional forces acting on the object.

However, the presence of the initial push will affect the overall motion of the falling body. It will introduce an initial velocity that can change the time taken to reach the ground, the distance covered, and the final velocity at the point of impact.

To demonstrate this, let's use a simple equation of motion:

h = (1/2)gt² + vt

Here, h represents the height or distance traveled by the falling body, g is the acceleration due to gravity, t is the time taken, and v is the initial velocity.

By comparing two scenarios—one where the object is simply released and one where it is given an initial push—using the same values for h and t, we can calculate the initial velocity required to achieve the desired results.

So, while the acceleration due to gravity will remain the same regardless of the initial push, the overall motion of the falling body will depend on factors such as its initial velocity, the time taken, and the distance covered.

yo noob.
