Is momentum destroyed when a falling ball strikes the earth?
In short, no. The momentum is not destroyed, but rather imparted onto the earth. However, because the earth is so huge, the momentum given has almost zero change on the earth's speed.
If you topple from your treehouse you'll continuously gain momentum as you fall to the ground below doesn' t this violate the law of conservation of momentum?
"Momentum is conserved if no net external force acts.If you consider just the falling object (you that is), there is an external force acting on it - gravity. So there is no violation of conservation of momentum here.On the other hand, if you consider the falling you and the earth as two interacting objects, then there is no net external force, just the internal gravitational forces acting between you and the earth. So you and the earth gain equal but opposite amounts of momentum, and momentum is conserved."http://intranet.emmawillard.org/Science/physicscqanswers.html
When an object is falling toward earth what force is pushing up on the object?
Because of force
What force oppses the motion of an object falling through the air?
Nothing is opposing an object falling to earth. Gravity is causing an object to fall back to earth which is opposing the object from leaving earht. If anything the force that opposes gravity is the force at which an object is projected.
What is a freely falling projectile?
It is a projectile falling with an acceleration equal to that of free fall. (an object falling in a vacuum at the earth's surface)

What is true about an object falling toward Earth?
Earth pulls on the object, and the object pulls on Earth
Why a falling object to earth's gravity does not continue forever?
Once it hits the Earth's surface, it will stop falling.
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.

Does a ball falling to earth violate conservation of momentum?
No. As a ball accelerates toward the Earth, the Earth is also accelerating to the ball. The Earth's acceleration is much too small to be detectable. But multiplied by the Earth's large mass, it is equal and opposite to the increase in the ball's momentum.
What force prevents an object from falling indefinetly?
if its falling it will hit whats pulling it example of indefinitely falling is object in stable orbit ie moon around earth

What balances the gravitational attraction of the earth on a falling object?
acceleration
When will an object falling toward earth accelerating?
at terminal velocity
When will an object falling earth stop accelerating?
at terminal velocity
