Does a ball dropped out the window of a moving car take longer to reach the ground that on dropped at the same height from a car at rest?

Both objects would strike the ground at the same moment. This is because gravity acts as an independent (unrelated to the forward movement of the car) force downwards. The force of gravity remains unchanged between both balls also.

∙ 16y agoWhere the object lands depends on how fast you are travelling (as well as a few other factors like the windspeed and the coefficient of drag the object has). However, as a rule of thumb the vertical component is constant - due to gravity - and the horizontal component is the same as the car's velocity (assuming you jsut drop it and don't throw it).

∙ 15y agoa ball will most likely hit first depending on its density. a car has a lot of open spaces and therefore, wind resistance. it's like putting aluminum foil in water. it'll float unless you ball it up. then it will sink

∙ 15y agono, no matter how high up or how short something is from the ground they fall at the same rate. This is because the Earth's gravity is constant on all objects, so concluding the objects will hit at the same time.

When Rae dropped a bowling ball from a height of 8 meters At which distance above the ground was the ball most likely moving at the greatest speed?
Still accelerating til it hits earth. ====================================== The height from which she dropped the ball is irrelevant. In any case, the ball was most likely moving at the greatest speed just as it hit the ground. The answer to the question is: zero.
What is an example free fall?
A rock that is dropped, and a apple falling from a tree.Hold a ball in your hand, stretch out your arm, and drop the ball. As it is moving towards the ground, it is in free fall.

How does the path of the crate appear to somebody on the airplane and to someone on the ground when a crate is dropped from an airplane flying horizontally at constant speed?
Person on the airplane: Crate will appear to be dropping straight down. Person on the ground: Crate will be curving in the direction the plane is moving.
What is the velocity of a ball that has a 3.03 second hit to the ground?
If it was thrown horizontally or dropped, and hit the ground 3.03 seconds later, then it hit the ground moving at a speed of 29.694 meters (97.42-ft) per second. If it was tossed at any angle not horizontal, and hit the ground 3.03 seconds later, we need to know the direction it was launched, in order to calculate the speed with which it hit the ground.

You drop a 5 kilo ball from rest from a height of 20 meters how fast is it moving when it strikes the ground?
20 meters per second

Head injuries could happen while cycling?
Sure. Cyclists are moving at speed, with their heads at a height above ground. If they fall, they may bang their heads.

What energy does a marble have when it is dropped?
Kinetic energy is moving energy
You are seated in a train that is stopped at a station Use two different reference points to explain that the train can appear to be moving and not moving?
the person standing on the ground, the train is moving and the ground is stationary. but the person on the train looks he is stationary and the ground is moving.

If a shoe is dropped from a height of 40m what is its speed after falling for two seconds?
Regardless of the height from which it is falling, (neglecting air resistance) it's speed will be 19.62 metres per second. (Acceleration from gravity is 9.81 metres per second squared, so after 1 second it is moving at 9.81 metres per second and after 2 seconds it is moving at 19.62 metres per second.
