The ball would continue moving in the same direction and roughly the same speed as the car before hitting the ground (ignoring air resistance). Think of what happens when a car stops short and you go flying forward into the seat in front of you. That's what's happening to the ball; it's momentum keeps it from falling straight down. Just add gravity to pull the ball towards the ground.

What type of energy does a moving ball have?

A moving ball has kinetic energy, which is energy associated with its motion.


What path will take if a ball is dropped from a moving train?

The ball will follow a parabolic path due to its horizontal motion with the train and vertical motion due to gravity. It will fall straight down relative to the train, hitting the ground directly below the point where it was released.

How would the motion of a ball being dropped be viewed differently as seen by the person dropping the ball and a stationary observer?

If the ball were simply dropped, the person dropping the ball and a stationary observer should see the same thing.


What type of motion is there in a bouncing ball?

A bouncing ball undergoes a combination of translational and rotational motion. Translational motion refers to the ball moving from one location to another, while rotational motion involves the spinning or rotation of the ball as it bounces. These two types of motion work together to create the overall bouncing motion of the ball.


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 the amount of force needed to keep a ball moving that has been launched into frictionless space?

In the vacuum of frictionless space, no force is needed to keep the ball moving. According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Therefore, once the ball is launched into frictionless space, it will continue moving indefinitely.
