I am not sure because I am only 12, but if it is possible the object may rotate and eventually reach the terminal velocity. It will then start to spin faster and when it hits the ground it may break, disinigrate, or some other form of weathering. I hope this was helpful.

What An object is free fall undergoes an increase in?

The speed of an object in free fall increases due to the acceleration of gravity, which causes the object to fall faster and faster until it reaches terminal velocity, at which point the force of air resistance balances the force of gravity.


When is an object said to be in free all'?

What you're referring to is actually "an object in free fall" not "free for all". An object is in free fall when the only force opposing gravity is potentially the force of wind friction as the object is pulled to the ground (see Terminal Velocity).

An object in free fall what happens until it reaches terminal velocity?

During free fall, an object accelerates at a constant rate due to gravity. As the object falls, air resistance increases, causing the acceleration to decrease. Eventually, the object reaches terminal velocity, where the air resistance equals the gravitational force, resulting in a constant velocity.


The downward force acting on an object in free fall is the force of what?

The downward force acting on an object in free fall is Gravity.


What happens to an object in free fall near Earth's surface?

If air resistance can be neglected, the object will fall faster and faster. If air resistance is significant, the object will fall faster and faster, until it asymtotically approaches a "terminal velocity" - the velocity at which the downward pull of gravity is in equilibrium with the air resistance.


True or false an object in free fall accelerates until it reaches terminal velocity?

True. Got that right on a test :)


What happens to an object in free fall as it reaches terminal velocity?

As the object in free fall reaches terminal velocity, it stops accelerating and continues to fall at a constant speed. At this point, the gravitational force pulling the object down is balanced by the air resistance pushing back up, resulting in a net force of zero.


What happens to an object in free fall can it has a constant velocity?

In free fall, an object accelerates due to gravity until it reaches its terminal velocity, where the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity, resulting in a constant velocity. Once the object reaches terminal velocity, it no longer accelerates and continues to fall at a steady speed.


What happens to the amount of potential energy of a falling block as it reaches the ground?

When a mass reaches the ground it will have a lot of potential energy installed inside. at the moment of hit all the potential energy is transformed into kinetic one. According to the type of the object the kinetic energy will act. if elastic it will jump up the same distance it fell (if free fall). .....


What appears to be happening to an object in free fall?

An object in free fall experiences a constant acceleration due to gravity, causing it to increase in velocity as it falls. The object's speed and distance traveled increase over time, with no air resistance, until it hits the ground.


A rock is dropped from a height of 60 m and is in a free fall what is the velocity of the rock as it reaches the ground 3.5 seconds later?

After 3.5 seconds of free-fall on or near the surface of the Earth, (ignoring effectsof air resistance), the vertical speed of an object starting from rest isg T = 3.5 g = 3.5 x 9.8 = 34.3 meters per second.With no initial horizontal component, the direction of such an object's velocitywhen it hits the ground is straight down.
