How can consider that an object is moving in free fall?
An object is free falling when the only force acting on the object is gravity.
What is required for an object to be considered in free fall?
nothing can be acted on it besides gravity
Does an object with more weight repuire more force to accelerate than an object with lighter weight?
It certainly does. That's why you have to push it harder to accelerate it horizontally. But that "more weight" that it has is exactly the more force it needs for vertical acceleration, and that's why all objects fall with the same acceleration.
What factors affect the rate of object falls through air?
The force of gravity will affect the rate of falling in air. As will the aerodynamic shape of the object. And assuming that the air is not moving with or against the direction of fall.
What is a falling object on which gravity is the only force?
Such an object is said to be in "free fall".
What object exhibit two dimensional?
An object thrown upward at an angle An object that's thrown horizontally off a cliff and allowed to fall
How can consider that an object is moving in free fall?
An object is free falling when the only force acting on the object is gravity.
What affects does gravity have on objects that fall in a down motion?
The same as on any other object that is in free fall (no matter in what direction it is currently moving): the object will be accelerated downward.
Does different speed of two objects effect the time it takes to reach the ground?
If thrown horizontal from same height the faster object will travel farther horizontally, but time to fall is the same. If thrown straight up, the faster object will take longer to fall
What is free fall fall?
An object is in free fall only if its motion is subject to being both only affected by gravity and only moving up or down.
Why does not the electron in a beam from an electron gun fall as much under gravity as a water molecule in a stream from a hose?
It does. If both are shot horizontally, both the electrons and the water drops fall the same distance in the same amount of time on account of gravity ... about 16 feet after one second. But the water may be moving horizontally at 50 feet per second, and the electron beam may be moving horizontally at 491 million feet per second. If those numbers are anywhere close, then across a 12-ft room, the water droplets will fall 11 inches, and the electrons will fall 0.0000000000000096 inch. That's why you don't notice it.
What is required for an object to be considered in free fall?
nothing can be acted on it besides gravity
Why is it unsafe to jump out of moving bus?
its a matter of common sense. a moving object and speed would equal a nasty fall and lack of control when falling
What would happen is the moon stop?
It won't; a moving object has the object to continue moving. If one day the Moon mysteriously and suddenly stopped moving around Earth, it would fall upon the Earth pretty soon (in a few days), due to Earth's gravity.
If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball what would happen to the ball?
travel horizontally
What are the example of work in the contex of science?
In physics, work is equal to force times distance W=F*D Work is basically moving an object parallel to its acceleration. For example, holding an object above the ground is not work, since there object has not moved. An example of work is moving a book, an object at free fall, etc.
What objects exhibit two dimensional motion?
Two vectors that do not lie along the same line. I wish someone would have posted this for me. ^_^
