i think it is due to gravity but i have no clue lol i just googled it. many websites said gravity so that is what i am going with. you should just Google the question and see what you get... i think it is due to gravity but i have no clue lol i just googled it. many websites said gravity so that is what i am going with. you should just google the question and see what you get...

Is there acceleration in the y direction?
Yes , there is a constant acceleration is the y- axis. and that acceleration is called acceleration due to gravity or Gravity. Gravity attracts every falling body which is on y axis. that's why the gravity is on y axis which is constant
What do you call it when an objects velocity changes?
A change in an objects velocity is called acceleration. Velocity is defined as an objects speed of travel AND its direction of travel. Acceleration can change only an objects speed, only its direction or both. If there is no acceleration acting on the object, then the velocity remains constant.
What is the speed of an free falling object?
Ignoring the effects of air resistance, freely falling objects accelerate at a constant rate. On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared or 32.2 feet per second squared. In the real world, however, objects don't speed up forever. Air resistance places a limit on how fast they can go.
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.
What is the force called that makes all objects fall at different speed?
That's called the "force of imagination".In the absence of air, all objects fall with the same acceleration. At equal times after the drop, all objectsare falling at the same speed.

What is the acceleration of a falling object?
The acceleration of a falling object is called gravity. A free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s when going downward on Earth.
When is acceleration constant?
We have constant acceleration all the time. Its called gravity. Gravitational acceleration is 9.8... m/s^2
He constant acceleration of an object moving in a circle is called?
centripetal acceleration

That's called the "force of imagination".In the absence of air, all objects fall with the same acceleration. At equal times after the drop, all objectsare falling at the same speed.
What is the acceleration that occurs when an object moves at a constant speed in circular motion called?
It's called 'centripetal acceleration', whether or not the speed is constant or the path circular.
Which describes an object's velocity that changes by the same amount each second?
If the acceleration is constant, yes. However, the acceleration of an object can vary. The rate of change of acceleration is called jerk.
When a net force changes an objects motion what is it called?
It is called acceleration.
Does mass affect acceleration of an fallen object?
No. If there's any difference in the acceleration of different falling objects, it's the result of air resistance. If you could drop them through a space with no air, the lightest feather and the heaviest rock would have the same acceleration. It's called the acceleration of gravity, and it's 9.8 meters (32.1 feet) per second2 on earth. Regardless of the mass of the falling object.
