Describe three situation in which the gravitational potential energy of an object change?
An object is raised higher, an object falls to a lower height, and the mass of an object above Earth's surface changes.
Does potential energy decreases as an object falls to earth?
Yes.
What determines whether an object falls to Earth's surface or orbits Earth?
The distance that the planet is from the sun determines its orbit and thus how long it takes to complete an orbit.
Describe the action and reaction force pairs involved when an object falls toward Earth Ignore the effects of air resistance?
The actions and reactions that involved when a object falls toward earth is that it creates an impact on it plus creates an crater. The reaction is that it might cause a natural disaster that can destroy millions of homes.
Why does and object accelerate when it falls toward Earth's surface?
Gravity is unopposed while an object is falling.
Describe three situation in which the gravitational potential energy of an object change?
An object is raised higher, an object falls to a lower height, and the mass of an object above Earth's surface changes.
What happens as an object falls towards the earth?
It accelerates downward at a rate of 9.8m/s2. Depending on the object and how high above the earth it started, it may reach terminal velocity at which point it will no longer accelerate, but will continue to fall at a constant velocity.
When you lift an object off the ground how are you changing its energy?
You are changing the object's gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to position of the object above the Earth. This energy has the potential to be transformed into Kinetic Energy if the object falls.
What happens as an object falls from earth?
the velocity of the object increases until it hits the ground
Why does object fall when it goes up?
An object falls back to Earth because of gravity.
Why does an object accelerate when it falls to Earth's surface?
beause of gravity
Does potential energy decreases as an object falls to earth?
Yes.
What determines whether an object falls to Earth's surface or orbits Earth?
The distance that the planet is from the sun determines its orbit and thus how long it takes to complete an orbit.

The actions and reactions that involved when a object falls toward earth is that it creates an impact on it plus creates an crater. The reaction is that it might cause a natural disaster that can destroy millions of homes.
What is the formula to calculate the distance an object falls?
9.8m/s/s -BHS
Why does and object accelerate when it falls toward Earth's surface?
Gravity is unopposed while an object is falling.
What do you call an object that continually falls around earth?
the moon or satelite
