Once it hits the Earth's surface, it will stop falling.

Why a falling falling object subjected to earth's gravity does not continue to accelerate forever?

A: because earths gravity cannot be harnessed forever unless the earth is moving with you. B: because earths gravity is not strong enough to pull you along unless you are in space as friction from air resistance will stop you.


Why does a falling subjected to earths gravity does not continue to accelerate forever?

what your talking about is terminal velocity, which is when the downward force of gravity (Fg)equals the upward force of drag (Fd). This causes the net force on the object to be zero, resulting in an acceleration of zero

The forces acting on objects falling near the earths surface are?

Mainly gravity, and air resistance.


Why a falling object subjected to earth's gravity does not continue to accelerate forever?

It does ! The amount is insignificant. Look at it another way, the moon is always falling toward the Earth ... and the Earth is always falling toward the moon. They are both accelerating.


What can be said about the force of earths gravity pulling on the books?

Earths gravity acts on everything from its center of gravity to everything else's center of gravity.


What speed does the space shuttle have to reach to escape earths gravity?

17,500 miles per hour puts the shuttle in orbit. BUT the gravity is still there. I'm fact there is about 90% of the gravity while the shuttle is on the ground. That great rate of speed is required to keep the shuttle from falling back to earth. At that speed the shuttle is basically falling around the planet.


Is it correct to say that satellites fall back to earth falling to earth because they are beyond the pull of earths gravity explain?

That is not English; that is not physics. Generally speaking, the speed of the satellite and gravity cancel each other. As the satellite slows (friction), gravity wins.
