Does rain fall on Earth?
No it falls on Earth
When water vapor condenses it falls back to earth as?
Condensed water vapor from the sky typically falls back to Earth as rain.
Where does most of the water that falls to the Earth as precipitation originate?
The Ocean is where most of Earth`s rain and snow comes from
What happens when precipitation falls to earth?
its a tonado
What happens to a raindrop that falls on Earth?
It could form a lake, evaporate, or even freeze as it falls.
A projectile that falls around the earth is?
a meteorite, or just debris from space junk
What do you call an object that continually falls around earth?
the moon or satelite
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.
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.
How is tangental velocity related to the moon falling around the earth?
The Moons tangential velocity is constantly changing in direction as it falls around the Earth.
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!
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.
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.
In the absence of air friction does the horizontal component of a projectile's velocity change as the projectile moves is this True False?
A projectile will travel on a straight line unless external forces act upon it. Gravity will pull the projectile downward, i.e. affect its vertical velocity component. This is why the projectile will decelerate upwards, reach a maximum elevation, and accelerate back down to earth. The force vector of air resistance points in the opposite direction of motion, slowing the projectile down. For example, If the projectile is going forward and up, air resistance is pushing it backwards (horizontal component) and down (vertical component). Without air resistance, there is no external force acting upon the horizontal velocity component and the projectiles ground speed will stay constant as it gains altitude and falls back down to earth.
How does the space shuttle orbit the earth?
The shuttle is always falling via gravity, it's just so far up that it never falls to earth,but goes around and around.
What gose up and down but does not move?
The sun...it rises and falls but doesn't move earth moves around it
