Because the constant force of gravity is acting on it, and the acceleration of an object is equal to
(net force acting on the object) divided by (the object's mass).
The force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth is called gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that attracts objects with mass toward each other. It is responsible for keeping the planets in orbit around the Sun and objects on Earth's surface from floating off into space.
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.
Acceleration of a falling object is caused by the force of gravity. Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, causing them to accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2.
why dont you go ask your mommy but ill still tell you these trash low standard questions.THE FORCES OF ACTION ARE TOO COMPLICATED BUT THEY CAN BE DINE LIKE THIS GOING THROUGH A ROAD AND going through all the other tensions of life but they can be rid by eating emami healthy and tasty tata tea and by having 30 or more fingers on your head as you are nothing but a headache.
Everything falls at the same speed so there is no free falling object If everything falls at the same speed then everything is a free falling object... Air resistance or deflection controls the falling speed of any object, this crucial stipulation determines falling speed. I leanred this in flight school.. please someone intelligent communicate with me?
at terminal velocity
terminal velocity
at terminal velocity
at terminal velocity
When an object is falling toward Earth, the force pushing up on the object is gravity, which is pulling the object downward towards the Earth's center. There is no active force pushing the object up as it falls.
An object falling towards the Earth will stop accelerating once it reaches its terminal velocity, which is the maximum speed it can achieve due to air resistance. This happens when the force of air resistance is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.
Earth pulls on the object, and the object pulls on Earth
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object. The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the forces of gravity.
The object in free fall is actually accelerating toward the earth, this acceleration is caused by gravity. So, yes gravity will be acting on a falling object and any object near the earth. It might help you to think of the same object on the other side of the earth falling up to remind you that it is the earth pulling on everything around it toward the centre. The phrase "free fall" is really misleading imoh.
If the object is outside the earth's atmosphere, there is no force pushing up on it. If it is inside the earth's atmosphere, then air drag is pushing up on it.
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
Possibly that the moon is accelerating towards the earth constantly, as gravity is pulling it towards us. the reason it doesn't crash into us is that it is moving at 90 degrees to us. Because it is always being pulled towards us but is also moving to the side, it ends up orbiting us. I hope this explanation is simple enough to answer your question.
