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.

Will a car or a bowling ball hit the ground first?

Both the car and the bowling ball will hit the ground at the same time, assuming they are dropped from the same height in a vacuum. This is because all objects fall at the same rate of acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass.


Is work done when a ball is dropped out of a window to the ground below?

No, work is not done when a ball is dropped from a window to the ground because work is only done when a force is applied over a distance. In this case, gravity is the force pulling the ball down, and there is no force acting against it over a distance.


How does gravity effect the distance of egg splatter?

Gravity pulls the egg downward towards the ground, causing it to accelerate as it falls. The height from which the egg is dropped will affect the speed at which it impacts the ground, and therefore the distance the egg splatters. The higher the drop height, the greater the impact force, and the larger the splatter distance.


Where is the potential energy of a swing the greatest?

The potential energy of a swing is greatest at the highest point of its arc. This is where the swing has the most distance from the ground and the most potential to do work if released.


A bowling ball and a bag of potato chips are dropped at the same time from a tall tower on Earth. What happens?

The Bowling ball will hit the ground fist not because it has more mass but because it is less affected by wind resistance [resistance to its movement through the air] If the effect of wind resistance where [somehow] negated they would hit the ground at the same time. [The bag of potato chips: Open or closed? Assumed closed for this answer]

What will hit the ground first a bowling ball or an apple?

Assuming both were dropped from the same height above ground, in a vacuum both would hit the ground at the same time. In a significant atmosphere (e.g. average ground-level on Earch) the bowling ball would hit the ground first.


Will a16 lb bowling ball and a 10 lb bowling ball dropped together reach the ground together?

Yes... Its not the weight but the force of gravity


Would a bowling ball and a penny hit the ground at the same time if dropped from an equal height?

Yes

What is the bowling ball and soccer ball thing again on newtons second law of motion?

A bowling ball and a soccer ball, dropped from the same height will hit the ground at exactly the same time.


Bowling ball and Apple dropped from same heigtht?

If you drop an apple from your right hand and a bowling ball from your left off the roof of the bowling alley, they will hit the parking lot at the same time.

Will a bullet travel the same distance straight up that it would horizontally?

No. The horizontal distance depends on how close the the ground the gun is. From the firing position, a bullet dropped to the ground will strike the ground in the same time as a bullet shot horizontally forward.

Imagine an experiment in which a 16lb bowling ball and a 10lb bowling ball are dropped from the fifth floor at the same time The heavier ball will reach the ground first?

No. They will hit the ground at the same time. The inertia for the heavier ball will be greater, but the acceleration for both will be the same, and both would (if the air resistance is the same for both) hit at the same time.
