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 .


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

No, both objects will hit the ground at the same time if there is no air resistance acting on them. This is known as the principle of equivalence, which states that in the absence of air resistance, all objects will fall at the same rate regardless of their mass or how they are initially given velocity.


Will the object that is dropped hit the ground before an object that is that it is thrown horizontally from the same height?

No, both objects will hit the ground at the same time, assuming air resistance is negligible. This is because the time it takes for an object to fall is only influenced by its initial vertical velocity and the acceleration due to gravity, not its horizontal motion.


When an object is thrown up the force of gravity?

When an object is thrown up, the force of gravity acts on it in the opposite direction to its motion. This force causes the object to slow down and eventually come to a stop before falling back to the ground.


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.

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.


Is acceleration greater when the object is thrown vertically or horizontally?

Acceleration is dependent on the initial velocity of how fast the object is leaving the projectile. The vertical acceleration is greater when the object is falling than when the object reaches the peak in height. However, if the object is thrown horizontally and there is no parabola in its shape then there is not as great of an acceleration.


Does different speed of two objects effect the time it takes to reach the ground?

If thrown horizontal from same height the faster object will travel farther horizontally, but time to fall is the same. If thrown straight up, the faster object will take longer to fall

Why does a bullet shot horizontally hit the ground at the same time as one just dropped?

Because the horizontal and vertical motion of an object are separate. This means that a thrown object will accelerate with the same amount of acceleration as a dropped object (about 9.8 m/s2 acceleration due to gravity) causing them to hit the ground at the same time


A ball is thrown horizontally from a cliff and hits the ground 4 seconds later 40 meters from the base of the cliff?

The ball was thrown horizontally at 10 meters per sec, and the thrower's arm was 78.4 meters above the base of the cliff.
