What causes falling objects to reach top velocity?
Earth's gravity
How does gravity affect objects falling to the ground?
gravity is what makes objects fall
When falling objects no longer accelerate?
A falling object no longer accelerates, due to friction in the atmosphere, when the friction buildup equals gravity's acceleration. This is called it's terminal velocity.
All objects change velocity as they move toward earth at a rate of 9.8m s due to which factor of gravity?
Its 9.8 m/s2. Gravity is a force. The object starts falling on the earth's surface initially increasing its velocity but at some point the velocity becomes constant. Newton's third law can be applied to explain this. The force of gravity initially exceeds the buoyancy of air and that is when the body's fall is accelerated. But at some height the 2 forces equalize. Then the body falls at a constant velocity and this is called the drag velocity.
Does gravity change the velocity of objects?
Yes, if you were to drop a rock, after one second has elapsed, gravity would make it move from a standstill to its terminal velocity in the medium through which it is falling. In general, the speed would change at a rate of 9.8 m/s2.
What causes falling objects to reach top velocity?
Earth's gravity
When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the objects is said to be?
= Terminal velocity =
How does gravity affect the veloctiy of falling objects?
The force of gravity will accelerate the falling objects towards itself.
How does gravity affect objects falling to the ground?
gravity is what makes objects fall
When falling objects no longer accelerate?
A falling object no longer accelerates, due to friction in the atmosphere, when the friction buildup equals gravity's acceleration. This is called it's terminal velocity.
How can you calculate the velocity and acceleration of falling objects?
Acceleration:Always the same, doesn't need to be calculated. Acceleration of gravity = 9.8 meters (32.2 ft) per second2Acceleration of gravity is negative (points down).Velocity:(Initial velocity) + [ (acceleration) x (time) ]Positive velocity = moving upNegative velocity = moving down
What is it called when a falling objects stops accelerating?
it stops accelerating at terminal velocity due to the air

What are the impacts of relativistic gravity on falling objects on light?
what are the impacts of relativistic gravity on falling object on ligh?
How does acceleration affect falling objects?
As objects fall, they are accelerated by the force of gravity, which causes them to continually fall faster, until they either reach the ground, or until they reach what is known as terminal velocity, which is the speed at which air resistance is equal to the force of gravity, so that the falling object does not accelerate any more.
What causes objects to accelerate?
Gravity causes falling objects to accelerate.
