Something thrown in the air is affected by two factors: friction and gravity.
Friction from the air, wind and whatever is in the air (such as dust) will slow it down making it decelerate from the direction it is moving.
Gravity will cause the item to descend (move downwards). If moving upwards, it will slow down and then start moving downwards. It will accelerate downward at the rate of about 32 feet per second squared, or 32 feet per second per second.
That means that an object (standing still) will be moving downwards at 32 feet per second after one second, at 64 feet per second after two second, 96 feet per seconds downwards after 3 seconds, and so on. It does not matter how heavy the item is.

What 1950's young children's show host was thrown off the air for saying something inappropriate?
Bill Maher was the 1950's young children's show hast that was thrown off the air for saying something inappropriate.
Do biceps relax when you have thrown something?
biceps relax wen you thrown something..yes they do relax went you thrown something..
Why does hot water freeze faster than cold water when thrown into the air?
The Mpemba effect, which causes hot water to freeze faster than cold water when thrown into the air, is due to a combination of factors such as evaporation, convection, and supercooling. The hot water evaporates more quickly, leading to a decrease in volume and temperature, which accelerates the freezing process.
Are projectiles bullet shaped?
No. It just means anything that can be thrown in the air that can be used to hit something or someone.
What is speed divergence?
are high, air accelerates and stretches out.
What is it when called when something speeds up?
It accelerates.
What do you call it when something accelerates in a circle?
A Centripetal Acceleration.
How is the word thrown used in sentence?
The ball was thrown high into the air.
What force is not acting upon a ball that is thrown in the air?
The force of friction is not acting upon a ball that is thrown in the air. Friction is a force that opposes motion, but when a ball is thrown in the air, there is no surface contact for friction to act upon.
Thrown for a loop?
It means you have no idea about something..It confuses you..hence thrown for a loop!
What happens to the speed of an object when it is thrown up in the air and when it comes back down?
an object thrown into the air will slow down as it ascends higher into the air until it stops ascending and the speed of the object increases as it falls until it reaches its terminal velocity in air. As an object passes through air, it encounters air resistance which slows down an object moving freely through air. An object will be moving at a slower speed when it hits the ground than it did when it was thrown into the air due to this air resistance.
Why throwing a ball always put down in curve not in straight?
-- The only horizontal force on a thrown ball is the force of air resistance, so the horizontal acceleration is very small, and the horizontal speed stays almost constant. -- The vertical force on a thrown ball is the force of gravity, so the ball accelerates straight down at the acceleration of gravity. -- The result of unequal horizontal and vertical components of acceleration is a curved path.
