The kinetic energy of an object falling towards Earth from space is not zero. As the object accelerates due to gravity, its kinetic energy increases. At the point of impact with Earth, the object's kinetic energy is at its maximum before being converted into other forms of energy upon collision.
It moves with uniform acceleration due to gravity
The object that the Earth moves around is located at the center of our solar system, known as the Sun. This gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Sun is what keeps the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.
In a falling object, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it moves downwards. The potential energy stored in the object due to its position relative to the ground is gradually transformed into the energy of motion as the object gains speed while falling.
Falling objects accelerate as they come closer to the ground due to the force of gravity acting on them. Gravity pulls the object downward, causing an increase in its velocity as it falls. The acceleration is a result of the continuous increase in the object's speed as it moves towards the Earth's surface.
Each planet moves on an epicycle that in turn moves on a deferent that circles around Earth.
Air resistance acts in the direction opposite to the motion of a falling object, slowing it down. The faster an object moves through the air, the greater the air resistance it experiences. This force ultimately affects the speed and trajectory of the falling object.
An object that is stationary on the earth's surface moves in a small circle, unless it's on the equator when it moves in a great circle.
