Because there is gravity that why we stay on the ground and not fly in the sky.

An object is dropped and falls to the ground with acceleration of g if its thrown upward at an angle its acceleration would be 0 larger than g g upward g downward or none of the above?

9.8 meters per seconds squared in the downward direction.


When an object falls freely the kinetic energy of the object will?

It will decrease if the object moves upward; decrease if the object moves downward.


If an object falls how fast will it hit the ground?

it depends on shape and resistence as cat only falls at 100kph but humans have a max of 290 if shaped downward like a bullet


Why falling objects don not move forward with a speed of 17700 mph?

And what makes you think an object would fall, or should fall, precisely at such a speed? How do you get that number? - Anyway, that's not the way our Universe works. Without air resistance, an object that falls downward falls faster and faster - its speed increasing by 9.8 meter/second every second. With air resistance, a falling object will eventually reach a speed at which friction (air resistance) balances the downward force of gravity. This speed is different for different objects.


When reflecting light?

light is reflected when it falls on some object. every object has the ability to reflect light.


What happens to an object when it is thrown in the air?

it is slowed by liquid friction, and pulled to the ground by gravity


With what initial velocity would an object have to be thrown downward to fall 240 meters in 5 seconds?

During the 5 seconds, gravity adds 5G = (5 x 9.78) = 48.9 meters/sec to the object's downward speed.During that time, it's average downward speed is 1/2 of [ Vi + (Vi + 48.9) ] = Vi + 24.45 m/s.In 5 seconds it falls 5(Vi + 24.45) = 5Vi + 122.25 meters.5Vi + 122.25 = 240 meters5Vi = 240 - 122.25 = 117.75 metersVi = 117.75 / 5 = 23.55 meters per sec.

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.


How does velocity varies with the vertical distance traveled by the object?

When an object falls vertically downward, its velocity increases according to the following equation:2aS=vf2 - vi2 or ,2*10*S=v2, orv=(20S)1/2.There is a second case in which a body is thrown vertically upward, here its velocity decreases as it moves upward. Here its velocity becomes zero as it reaches the highest point


What are the force acting on a fallen object what direction are these forces?

Assuming you mean "falling": the main forces are gravity (downward), and friction (in the direction opposite to the object's movement - for example, if the objects falls straight down, that would be upward).
