A typical long-period seimometer has a period of 30 seconds and a Q of about 2 . As a result of a violent earthquake the Earth's surface may oscillate with a period of about 20minutes and with an amplitude such that the maximum acceleration is about 10^-9 meter per second sqaure. How small a value of A must be observable if this is to be detected?​

the closer the planet is to the sun, the larger the gravity

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
