Do pencils fly?

No, pencils do not have the ability to fly on their own. They require external forces such as being thrown or dropped for movement.


Why does the potential energy decrease when something falls or is dropped?

When something falls or is dropped, its potential energy decreases because it is being converted into kinetic energy due to gravity. As the object moves closer to the Earth's surface, gravitational force is doing work on it, causing a reduction in potential energy and an increase in kinetic energy.


What forces act upon skyscrapers?

Skyscrapers are primarily designed to counteract gravity with their structural framework and foundation. Wind forces also play a significant role, being resisted by the building's shape and materials. Earthquakes can exert lateral forces on skyscrapers, which are countered by seismic design principles.


Is the height of a ball's bounce affected by the height from which the ball is dropped dependent and independent variable?

The height from which the ball is dropped is the independent variable, as it is what is being manipulated. The height of the ball's bounce is the dependent variable, as it is what is being measured and is affected by the height from which the ball is dropped.


What object has all forces acting on it?

Please redefine question. All objects have all forces acting on them to some degree or another, with strong and weak nuclear forces, gravitational, electromagnetic being the fundamental forces. Or do you mean something like uniform compression forces, say of a submersible underwater being "crushed from all sides".

no


Is being in a crash at 30 mph equivalent to being dropped from a 4 story building?

Pretty close.

true


How fast in miles per hour would an object dropped from that building be going when it hit?

It depends upon a number of factors, among them being the height of the building.


Is Being in a crash at 30 MPH has the equivalent force of being dropped off a four story building?

well if you were dropped off a 4story building you would probly die but a car crash is kinda different so i guess you would die in a car crash if you were a little kid but if you arent then i don't think you will

What does the internal mean?

Internal means Inside of something or something that is inside rather than being on the inside. For example an internal building water supply means that the water supply is inside the building as opposed to it being an external water supply meaning that it is outside the building.


Is it true that being in a crash at 30 mph has the equivilent force of being dropped off a four story building?

Yes, its true. I had driver's ed, and my teacher explained to us the mechanics.


Does it make sense for a building to fall like it is being imploded when it falls because something has hit it?

Yes. If the building houses something that can create a blackhole. Ie. Large Hadron collider.


When a leaf and a coin are being dropped of the same time at the top of the building which of the two will hit the ground first and why?

A coin. It is heavier, and thus less affected by air resistance.


What is the record for the most consecutive golf ball bounces?

I think it is like 6 or something like that.
