When a car dirves off a cliff why does it rotate forward as it falls?

When a car drives off a cliff, often one end of the vehicle drops first and the weight distribution changes, causing the car to rotate forward as it falls. This is due to the force of gravity acting on the car's center of mass, pulling it downward and causing it to tip forward.


What happens to a spacecraft when its forward motion combines with its freefall?

When a spacecraft is in freefall and also moving forward, it remains in orbit around a larger body like a planet or moon. This combination of forward motion and freefall creates a balance where the spacecraft continuously falls towards the larger body while also moving forward at a speed that prevents it from crashing into the body.


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.


Where will a rock hit the ground if you drop it out a moving vehicle?

A rock dropped from a car window initially moves forward as the same speed as the car and falls downwards due to gravitational attraction. The forward speed falls off from the air resistance. This rate of speed reduction depends on the mass and density of the rock and the initial air velocity. For simplicity consider the case of dropping the rock in a vacuum (no air), or that the rock is so large that its momentum and inertia reduce the reduction of its forward speed only slightly while the rock is falling.To the observer in the car w the rock then falls down from the point dropped maintaining its forward speed.The rock accelerates downward at 32 ft/sec2 until it contacts the road some distance "d" below it. Using the expression:d = vt + (1/2)at2where d is distance travelled downward, v is starting downward velocity, a is acceleration of gravity, and t is time. It is possible to calculate "t". It is just as easy to time the fall of the rock by experimentation.The forward movement of the rock lasts for time "t". It was moving at some forward speed "v". It travelsd = vt . Where d is distance travelled forward, v is starting forward velocity, and t is time.The rock lands under the hand that dropped it at distance "d" down the road.


What best describes the object's energy as it falls trough the air from the stationary position at height x?

The potential energy it had at height x when it was not moving is equal to the kinetic energy it will have as it is falling. Why? Law of the Conservation of Energy. Energy before will equal energy after.

What does Niagara Falls flow between?

Niagara Falls flows between Niagara Falls and Niagara Falls. The water at Niagara Falls drops -- from the crest of the falls to the bottom of the falls. The Niagara River flows from Lake Erie to the crest of the falls, over the falls, and thence to Lake Ontario. The Niagara River forms part of the international boundary between Canada and the US. There are two cities at Niagara Falls, and both are named Niagara Falls. The one in Canada is Niagara Falls, Ontario, and the one in the US is Niagara Falls, New York.


Has anyone ever been killed working at nasa?

Yes. The most spectacular were the 3 astronauts that burned up in their capsule, and the 2 shuttle crashes. But lets not forget the simple car crashes, plane crashes, and simple falls.

Why paper airplane fly?

The forward motion (when you throw it) and the design of the craft - creates lift under the wing. As the forward motion slows, the aircraft falls to the ground.
