Explain the term "acceleration due to gravity"

"Acceleration due to gravity" typically refers to the increase in speed of a falling object due to the gravitational pull of the Earth. If jump out of a plane, your speed increases towards the Earth (or the center of the Earth really) due to the acceleration of gravity. If you throw a ball up in the air, it slows down and falls due to the acceleration of gravity.

I guess it's specified because the force of gravity is causing the acceleration in these instances; as opposed to some other outside force.

im sorry i dont know

dec 23, 2016 - a load of bricks weighing 680 n a distance of 10 m across a parking lot. if if the worker pushes the cart with a constant force of 209 n, what work= force x distance = 220 n x 10 m = 2200 n.m = 2200 j i don't know where the person got it from, but the initial part, work= force x distance me.
