Vertically, about 300 meters,
Respiratory droplets typically travel around 6 feet before falling to the ground, though they can travel farther under certain conditions such as during sneezing or coughing.
Assuming no air resistance, the arrow will take approximately 5 seconds to hit the ground because it will reach its maximum height before falling back down due to gravity. The total time for the arrow to travel up and back down is twice the time it takes to reach the maximum height.
When falling to the ground, it travels at 9.8 m/s²
Acids can travel long distances in the atmosphere due to being carried by winds and air currents. This enables them to spread over large areas before eventually falling to the ground as acid rain. Furthermore, certain acids can react with other compounds in the atmosphere, forming aerosols that can travel even greater distances.
Yes, lightning does travel in a mostly straight path from the cloud to the ground or between clouds. However, it may appear to zig-zag due to the way it ionizes the air and the path of least resistance.
No, that's why it's orbiting the earth instead of flying off into space. To it takes a force to change velocity. Changing direction changes velocity, so it requires a constant force to travel in a circle--think of the tension in a string while you twirl a rock attached to the end. A satellite if falling toward the earth constantly. As a thought experiment, consider dropping a rock to the ground. It falls straight down. If you throw it straight sideways, it travels for some horizontal distance before it hits the ground. A bullet travels further. Now, if you could shoot something fast enough, it would travel so far sideways before it reached the ground, that the ground itself would start curving away underneath it, because the earth is a sphere. If you go fast enough, then you can go so far, that the ground curves away under you at the same rate that you curve in your path as you fall towards the ground. This is basically what a satellite does--it falls around the earth.
Yes, gorillas do travel on the ground.
No. The horizontal distance depends on how close the the ground the gun is. From the firing position, a bullet dropped to the ground will strike the ground in the same time as a bullet shot horizontally forward.
No. Since the speed of a falling object keeps increasing, it falls through more distance in each second than it did in the second before.
A 9mm bullet will travel approximately 2200 meters before it begins to descend to the ground. However, unless the person shooting the gun is in a open field, the bullet will not travel that far before hitting something.
The ball thrown on the moon would travel a greater distance before hitting the ground due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth. The lower gravity allows the ball to stay in the air for a longer time and cover more distance before falling back down compared to the ball thrown on Earth with its higher gravity.
That depends a LOT where you are, and where you want to go. If you're careful to face your destination before you set out, then you can get there by traveling straight ahead.
