A ball just dropped is an example of what?

A ball just dropped is an example of free fall, where the only force acting on it is gravity causing it to accelerate downwards at a constant rate of 9.81 m/s^2.


What is an example of an free fall?

A rock that is dropped, and a apple falling from a tree.Hold a ball in your hand, stretch out your arm, and drop the ball. As it is moving towards the ground, it is in free fall.


Which has more kinetic energy a ball dropped from a height of 2m or a same ball dropped at 4m which has more kinetic energy just before it hits the ground?

The ball dropped from 4m height has more kinetic energy just before it hits the ground because it has a higher velocity due to falling from a greater height. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to both mass and the square of velocity, so the ball dropped from 4m height will have more kinetic energy than the one dropped from 2m height.


Is the height of a ball's bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped dependent and independent variable?

The height from which the ball is dropped is the independent variable, as it is what is being manipulated. The height of the ball's bounce is the dependent variable, as it is what is being measured and is affected by the height from which the ball is dropped.


When Rae dropped a bowling ball from a height of 8 meters At which distance above the ground was the ball most likely moving at the greatest speed?

Still accelerating til it hits earth. ====================================== The height from which she dropped the ball is irrelevant. In any case, the ball was most likely moving at the greatest speed just as it hit the ground. The answer to the question is: zero.

If the ball is dropped is it then a fumble or incomplete forward pass?

If the player catching the ball has control of it and then he drops it it is a fumble, if they never caught it but they just touched it it is an incomplete pass


What factors affect the bounce of a dropped ball?

The factors that affect the bounce of a dropped ball include...... the height from which it is dropped; the force applied to it, if any, when dropped; the acceleration of gravity, which is different depending upon what planet you're on ; the elasticity of the ball; the density of the atmosphere, which affects "air resistance"; and the rigidity and elasticity of the surface on which the ball bounces.


Is the height of a ball bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped?

Yes - the greater the height an item dropped the resulting bounce is higher


Is the height of the ball's bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped?

Yes - the greater the height an item dropped the resulting bounce is higher
