True or false an object that is dropped will hit the ground before an object that is thrown horizontally from the same height?

False, provided the drop occurs no sooner than the throw, and the ground is flat .


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.


A bullet is fired horizontally out of a gun at the same time another is dropped from the end of the barrelthe one to hit the ground first is?

The bullet fired horizontally will hit the ground first, given that it has an initial horizontal velocity that keeps it moving forward from the moment it leaves the gun. On the other hand, the bullet dropped from the end of the barrel only has the force of gravity acting on it, causing it to fall vertically, which is slower than the horizontal motion of the fired bullet.


A rock is dropped at the same instant that a ball in the same elevation is thrown horizontally which will have the greater speed when it reaches ground level?

The rock will have a greater speed when it reaches the ground level compared to the ball thrown horizontally because the rock will be accelerated by gravity as it falls vertically, while the ball thrown horizontally will only have its initial horizontal velocity.


Where will a coin land if you drop it in a bus moving at constant speed and in a straight line?

The coin will land straight back down in the same spot from where it was dropped in the bus, assuming the bus is moving at a constant speed in a straight line without any sudden changes in acceleration. This is because the coin is moving with the bus at the same velocity when dropped.

A tennis ball is dropped from the ceiling of an airplane that is cruising at a constant velocity of 400 milehour would look like what to someone looking from outside the plane?

If the person outside the plane managed to move along with the plane, at 400 mph, the ball would appear to fall vertically. At lower speeds, the plane and ball would be in sight for a short period of time and the ball would appear to move horizontally with the plane.


Was the nickname of the airplane that dropped the first atomic bomb?

It was named the Enola Gay.


Is the following true or false an object that is dropped will hit the is ground before an object that is thrown horizontally from the same height?

True. Both objects, when released from the same height, will experience the same gravitational acceleration regardless of their horizontal motion. Therefore, the object that is dropped will hit the ground at the same time as the object thrown horizontally, assuming no air resistance. However, the dropped object will fall straight down, while the thrown object will travel horizontally as it falls.

What does gravity do to the path of an object that is thrown horiziontally?

It doesn't matter whether the object is thrown down, up, horizontally, or diagonally. Once it leaves the thrower's hand, it is accelerated downward by an amount equal to acceleration of gravity on the planet where this is all happening. On Earth, if you throw an object horizontally, it accelerates downward at the rate of 9.8 meters per second2 ... just as it would if you simply dropped it. Whether it's dropped or thrown horizontally, it hits the ground at the same time.


Will a bullet travel the same distance straight up that it would horizontally?

No. The horizontal distance depends on how close the the ground the gun is. From the firing position, a bullet dropped to the ground will strike the ground in the same time as a bullet shot horizontally forward.

When was the first bomb dropped from an airplane during world war 1?

The first bomb dropped from an airplane during World War I occurred on December 21, 1914. A German pilot, Lieutenant Georg von Hohenzollern, dropped a bomb from a modified aircraft over a target in Antwerp, Belgium. This marked a significant development in aerial warfare, laying the groundwork for future bombing strategies.
