Why every object falls downward while thrown up?

Because there is gravity that why we stay on the ground and not fly in the sky.


If you have 3 balls on the top of a building and one is dropped. one is thrown downward. and one is thrown up and then goes downward Which has the fastest volocity when it hits the ground?

The thrown ball will (usually) have the highest velocity as the acceleration (resultant of force) used to throw it exceeds that of the other two balls. The ball thrown upward will have a higher downward velocity than the dropped ball even though their accelerations (due to gravity) are the same, as it has more time to travel downward. Although, If the ball thrown upward is thrown high enough, it may even travel faster than the ball thrown downward if the downward throw's force is not enough to beat the ball's terminal velocity (quite a bit of height would be required though).


How much time will it take a ball to reach the ground?

That depends on its trajectory, or whether it is actually thrown downward. Please be more specific.


An object is dropped and falls to the ground with acceleration of g if its thrown upward at an angle its acceleration would be 0 larger than g g upward g downward or none of the above?

9.8 meters per seconds squared in the downward direction.


What happened to the ball when you thrown upward?

It comes back downward! :) enjoi!


What does gravity do to the path of an object that is thrown horiziontally?

It doesn't matter whether the object is thrown down, up, horizontally, or diagonally. Once it leaves the thrower's hand, it is accelerated downward by an amount equal to acceleration of gravity on the planet where this is all happening. On Earth, if you throw an object horizontally, it accelerates downward at the rate of 9.8 meters per second2 ... just as it would if you simply dropped it. Whether it's dropped or thrown horizontally, it hits the ground at the same time.


A ball is thrown upward from the ground with a speed of 36.0 ms At what time after being thrown does the ball have a velocity of zero?

A ball that isn't being held up by anything will accelerate vertically because of the influence of gravity. It's rate of acceleration will be 9.78 meters per second2, directed downward, meaning that each second, its speed in the downward direction will be 9.78 meters per second faster than it was 1 second earlier. When this particular ball is released, its downward speed is negative 36 meters per second. How many times (seconds) does gravity need to increase its downward speed by 9.78 m/s in order to increase its downward speed to zero ? (36 / 9.78) = 3.681 seconds (rounded). That's when the negative downward speed has increased to zero, and becomes a positive downward speed. So it's also the peak of the toss.

Does uniform speed properly characterize the motion of a heavy object thrown violently downward from a tall building?

No. Regardless of its initial speed, the object still experiences downward acceleration at the rate of 'G'.

Which force makes a thrown ball fall back to the ground?

Gravity is the force which makes a thrown ball fall back to the ground. It is the force which attracts all objects to the Earth.
