What do you call an object that continually falls around earth?

the moon or satelite


A projectile that falls around the earth is?

A projectile that falls around the Earth is in orbit. It is continuously falling towards the Earth due to gravity, but its forward velocity allows it to stay in a curved path around the planet without hitting the ground.


A satellite is projectile that falls ot of earth rather than into earth?

Satellites are in constant free-fall. This simply means they are constantly being accelerated by earth's gravity. However, an orbiting satellite's lateral motion is sufficient that the acceleration caused by the earth's gravity causes it to continually circle the earth, instead of crashing to the ground.


What is the acceleration on a projectile as it comes down?

The acceleration on a projectile as it comes down is approximately equal to the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m/s^2 on the surface of Earth. This acceleration acts in the downward direction and causes the projectile to increase in velocity as it falls towards the ground.


How is acceleration described as the projectile rises and then falls back to the ground?

acceleration remains the same


The moon revolves around?

The Earth. Actually, technically, the Moon and Earth revolve around a common center of gravity, but that center of gravity falls within the earth itself.


Why do the satellites not fall while revolving around the earth?

. The speed of the satellite is adjusted so that it falls to earth at the same rate that the curve of the earth falls away from the satellite. The satellite is perpetually falling, but it never hits the ground!


When do you have a Solar Eclipse?

When the Earth is revolving around the Earth, and the moon comes between them, that is, in the middle of the Earth and the Sun,and the shadow of the moon falls on the Earth, it is called a solar eclipse.


What is the process by which water moves continually between the atmosphere and Earth and surface?

The process by which water moves continually between the atmosphere and Earth's surface is called the water cycle. This cycle involves processes such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff, which are driven by the heat energy from the sun. Water evaporates from the surface, forms clouds in the atmosphere, and eventually falls back to the surface as precipitation in the form of rain, snow, or sleet.


What is the magnitude of the velocity of a vertical projectile at its maximum height is equal to?

The horizontal component of a projectile's velocity doesn't change, until the projectile hits somethingor falls to the ground.The vertical component of a projectile's velocity becomes [9.8 meters per second downward] greatereach second. At the maximum height of its trajectory, the projectile's velocity is zero. That's the pointwhere the velocity transitions from upward to downward.


What is sabot ammo?

A smaller than barrel diameter projectile fits in a sabot (shoe) that is the diameter of the barrel. On firing, the sabot, which is in two or more pieces, falls away, and leaves the projectile traveling at VERY high speed.


What gose up and down but does not move?

The sun...it rises and falls but doesn't move earth moves around it
