What is the speed of a 380 acp bullet falling straight down?
Falling, and not tumbling end over end, the bullet will accelerate (due to gravity) at 32 ft per second- per second- until it reaches the terminal velocity- limited by air resistance- around 300 mph. If tumbling end over end, more air resistance, less speed- about 225 mps MAXIMUM.
When gravity is the only force acting on in object?
One answer is that it is in free-fall in a vacuum (to eliminate atmospheric drag). Another answer is that it is in orbit around another body. The object could be in inter-stellar space, essentially experiencing the balanced gravitational force of "everything". If you eliminate the "middle of space" solution, the object would have to be in a state of acceleration. A seagull drops a clam while flying over a beach.
What force stops us from falling over?
gravitinal force]
What is the force that opposes motion when moving objects over a surface called?
The force that opposes motion when moving objects over a surface is called friction
How do you calculate force of falling object?
you divide distance over time
What happens if you have move your diaphragm from falling over?
nothing
How do things accelerate when there is no air present?
Air is not a requirement for acceleration. Objects in the vacuum of space accelerate to other objects under the force of gravitational attraction. Rockets are propelled by escaping gases in the same manner as you are accelerated in the opposite direction when you throw an object while you are sitting on a rolling chair.Answer:Let's look at the case of an object falling from a great height towards the Earth.Once the object is released it accelerates towards the Earth due to gravity at 32ft/sec/sec. The acceleration continues until the force required to push through the air balances the force of gravity . This is known as terminal velocity.Now lets consider an airless planet the same size as Earth (to make the attraction of gravity the same). We drop the body from the same height over its surface, it accelerates downward, but does not have to push air out of the way. There is no terminal velocity ands its speed continues to increase all the way to the ground.Thus bodies falling through a gas accelerate until terminal velocity is reached, bodies falling in a vacuum continue to accelerate.
How does Gravity affect astronouts in space?
Gravity from objects such as the Earth, the Moon, the Sun, or the Milky Way will attract and accelerate an astronaut. "Accelerate" implies that the astronaut's velocity will change over time.If the astronaut is in free fall (basically, the spaceship's engine is not pushing the spacecraft), then the astronaut won't FEEL such gravity.
A net force causes an object to?
Accelerate, motion is generated by applying force to mass.
When was Falling Over You created?
Falling Over You was created on -19-10-09.
What objects are not affected by force?
There is no such object. Any object on which a force is applied will accelerate (i.e., its velocity will change over time). If the object has a very large mass, the effect will be hardly noticeable for any given force.
What happens to your muscles when you pick up something light you expect to be heavy?
The muscles contract harder based on how heavy the object is expected to be, putting more work in to lift heavier objects the same amount. However, if they put in too much work for an object, the motion over-compensates, and the muscles simply pull everything farther, often resulting in falling over.

What precautions are to be taken if an earthquake occurs?
If you are inside during an earthquake, you should take cover under something sturdy to protect yourself from falling objects. After it is over, check for broken gas or electric lines.
