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

Is it true an object that will hit the ground before an object that is thrown horizontally?

No, objects fall at the same rate regardless of their horizontal velocity. Both objects would hit the ground at the same time if dropped from the same height.


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 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.


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.


Why an arrow shot horizontally and an arrow dropped straight down from the same height will hit the ground at the same time?

Both arrows will hit the ground at the same time because the force of gravity acts equally on both arrows, regardless of their initial horizontal or vertical motion. The vertical component of the horizontally shot arrow's motion does not affect the time it takes to fall to the ground.

Which will hit the ground first a ball thrown horizontally at 2 meters per second off a building 20 m high or a ball dropped by a hand at the same height?

They should reach the ground together, since their initial vertical speed is the same, namely zero.

Both arrows will hit the ground at the same time because the force of gravity acts equally on both arrows, regardless of their initial horizontal or vertical motion. The vertical component of the horizontally shot arrow's motion does not affect the time it takes to fall to the ground.


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 You Drop An Object From A Certain Height It Takes Time T To Reach The Ground With No Air Resistance. If You Dropped It From Three Times That Height How Long Would It Take To Reach The Ground?

When an object is dropped from a certain height, the time it takes to reach the ground is independent of the height (assuming no air resistance). Therefore, whether you drop the object from three times the initial height or the original height, it will still take the same time (T) to reach the ground.


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

No, both objects will hit the ground at the same time if there is no air resistance influencing their fall. This is because in the absence of other forces, the only force acting on both objects is gravity, which causes them to accelerate at the same rate regardless of their horizontal velocity.


Does it take longer for a raindrop to hit the ground if it is being blown horizontally by the wind than it would if it were falling perfectly vertical in a vacuum?

If both raindrops are dropped at the same time from the same height, then no, it does not take any longer, They will hit the ground at the same time because the vertical distance to the ground remains the same.One just travels further away


A stone has a mass of 0.15 gram is dropped from a height of sixty meter how much work is needed before it stuck to the ground?

You don't need any work to drop a stone!


Why does a body exerts more force on ground when it is dropped from a certain height than when it at rest at the ground although in both the cases mass and acceleration is constant See discussion too?

Interesting question. But when the object is at rest the potential energy of the object is 0, on the surface that is. When it is on a height h it's potential energy increase and when it is dropped from that height all that potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy just before hitting the ground. This extra force comes from this kinetic energy.
