When a falling ball hits the ground, it experiences a sudden change in momentum and kinetic energy. The impact causes the ball to bounce back up due to the conservation of energy and momentum.

What happens to the speed of a ball when it is thrown upwards in the air?

The speed of the ball decreases as it moves against gravity and eventually reaches 0 at its highest point before falling back down.


Is falling down a pleonasm?

No, falling down is not a pleonasm as it simply describes the act of falling to the ground. A pleonasm is the use of more words than necessary to convey meaning, so "falling down" is not an example of this.


Why does a ball rolling on the ground slow down?

A ball rolling on the ground slows down due to friction between the ball and the surface it is rolling on. As the ball moves, frictional forces act in the opposite direction of its motion, causing it to lose kinetic energy and gradually slow down. Additionally, air resistance may also contribute to the slowing down of the ball.


A ball falling through the air has?

acceleration due to gravity acting on it, which causes it to increase in speed as it falls. The force of air resistance also acts on the ball, gradually slowing it down. Eventually, the ball reaches terminal velocity, where the force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance and the ball falls at a constant speed.


What happens to a ball thrown straight down from a bridge would have acceleration of?

The ball thrown straight down from a bridge will experience an acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, this acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 and acts in the downward direction. The acceleration will cause the ball to increase in speed as it falls towards the ground.

What happens to the speed of a ball as it travels toward the ground?

The ball speeds up as it travels to the ground as gravity pulls it down to make it go fast.

In football if you are down on another player are you down?

It depends. If your knee is touching the ground, or if the ball is, you are considered "down by contact". If both the ball and your knee are off the ground, you are still able to get up and run. (This has happened numerous times with players falling over an opposing player, landing on their feet and continuing on)

Can a player running the ball touch the ball to the ground to steady himself without going down?

If the ball touches the ground, the runner is down. This is why 'the ground cannot cause a fumble.'


How to describe the motion of a ball dropped from a moving car?

The ball would continue moving in the same direction and roughly the same speed as the car before hitting the ground (ignoring air resistance). Think of what happens when a car stops short and you go flying forward into the seat in front of you. That's what's happening to the ball; it's momentum keeps it from falling straight down. Just add gravity to pull the ball towards the ground.

Is a player down if the football hits the ground?

No. A player is down when his knee or back touches the ground. If the ball carrier loses the ball before this happens then it is called a fumble, and both teams try to recover the ball and whichever team does gains possession. Yes. The only thing allowed to touch the ground without you being 'down' is your hands and feet. We even have interpretation questions on whether the wrist and ankles are part of the hand/feet to determine if a player is down. If the ball touches the ground, the player is considered down. This is why the ground cannot cause a fumble. If it was a pass and the WR was deemed not in control of the pass, it is known as a dropped or incomplete pass. The player has to have complete control, but the ball can touch the ground. This is determining the completion of the catch, though, not whether the player is down or not.

If a ball is falling down with the G force and hits the ground what force will it make to have an acceleration that stops the ball InstantlY?

The force that the ground exerts on the ball to stop it instantly is equal to the change in momentum of the ball over the time it takes to stop. This force will be greater than the force of gravity acting on the ball. Additionally, the force applied by the ground will need to overcome the force of gravity and provide an equal and opposite force to cancel out the ball's downward momentum.
