whenever an object is thrown in the air we must know the initial velocity with which the object has been thrown.

What happens to the speed of an object when it is thrown up in the air and when it comes back down?
an object thrown into the air will slow down as it ascends higher into the air until it stops ascending and the speed of the object increases as it falls until it reaches its terminal velocity in air. As an object passes through air, it encounters air resistance which slows down an object moving freely through air. An object will be moving at a slower speed when it hits the ground than it did when it was thrown into the air due to this air resistance.
An object thrown or shot through the air is called what?
it is called a trajectory Projectile- the obect thrown though the air
Is the acceleration the same on an object that is drop or when its thrown?
It is the same (neglecting air resistance).
How is air resistance related to a catapult?
the ball or whatever object that is thrown has air resistance so it makes it go farther or slower and that's how its related
What happens to an object when it is thrown in the air?
it is slowed by liquid friction, and pulled to the ground by gravity

What makes an object fall when it is thrown in the air?
Gravitational pull

Can you use projectile in a sentence?
A projectile is an object thrown into the air with great force. (Is a sentence)
If an object can be thrown up to 600feet what is the estimated speed?
well in order to calculate the speed of the object at the start point you need to know: # mass/weight of the object # the air resistance # the angle # the form of the object
An object is thrown upward will return to its initial position with same speed if air resistance is negligeble what heppened if air resistance is appreciable?
it would be slower

To what extent does the mass of an object effect the distance thrown?
it will cut through the air more quickly and yet go farther
What happens to an object when it is thrown in the air?
it is slowed by liquid friction, and pulled to the ground by gravity
What is the curved path an object takes when it is thrown?
In the absence of air and neglecting the Earth's curvature, the path would be part of a perfect parabola.
If object thrown vertically on moon will it travel farther than one thrown on earth?
Yes, because there is less gravity on the moon. Also, because there is no air friction on the Moon. However, a frisbee thrown on the Moon will not travel as far as one properly thrown on Earth, because the shape of the frisbee generates lift which will keep it flying farther. With no air on the Moon, a frisbee cannot "fly".
