When a ball is dropped from a height, it accelerates due to the force of gravity acting on it. As it falls, its speed increases at a steady rate until it reaches terminal velocity, at which point the speed remains constant due to air resistance balancing the force of gravity.

WHEN A BALL IS DRoPPED FROM A height its speed increases why?

Acceleration due to the force of gravity.


When a ball is dropped what type of energy increases?

When a ball is dropped, its potential energy decreases due to the decrease in height, while its kinetic energy increases as it gains speed due to gravity pulling it downwards.


A ball is dropped from a certain height. What is its initial speed?

When a ball is dropped from a certain height, its initial speed is 0 m/s as it starts from rest. The ball gains speed as it falls due to gravity pulling it downwards.


A softball is dropped off of the side of a building As the ball continues to fall freely the kinetic energy of the ball?

increases while potential energy decreases. This is because the ball is losing height and gaining speed as it falls due to the force of gravity acting upon it.


Is the speed uniform or nonuniform of a stone dropped from a height?

The speed of a dropped stone will be non-uniform. The stone goes faster as it falls by an amount equal to 32 feet per second, per second. That means for each second of falling, the speed increases by another 32 feet per second until terminal velocity is reached.


Why does an object dropped from a certain height have more than twice the speed of an object dropped from half the height of the previous object?

Because they undergo an acceleration. Free fall velocity is the function of a square.


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.


Is there any relationship between speed and height?

Yes , there is a relationship between height and speed . Which is that to get fast we need to be tall . Height isn't anything weight can slow you down so speed also consists of height that is the relationship between speed and height


Do two objects of the same mass dropped at different height have a different speed?

Yes, two objects of the same mass dropped at different heights will have different speeds when they hit the ground due to the influence of gravity. The object dropped from a higher height will have a higher speed upon impact because it had more time to accelerate while falling.


Does two stones have the same acceleration if one is thrown upward from a roof and the identical one is dropped from there?

no because the higher it gets the speed increases and its do not does.


A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 96 ft per second what is the height of the cliff?

What is lighter rock or paper?

Between rock and paper, paper is lighter. However if dropped from same height they do fall at the same speed.
