Because there is gravity that why we stay on the ground and not fly in the sky.

An object is dropped and falls to the ground with acceleration of g if its thrown upward at an angle its acceleration would be 0 larger than g g upward g downward or none of the above?

The acceleration of the object would still be g downward, regardless of the angle at which it is thrown upward. The acceleration due to gravity always acts in the downward direction towards the center of the Earth. The only difference would be the horizontal component of the velocity due to the initial angle of the throw.


Why energy is converted from PE to KE when an object falls?

As an object falls, its potential energy (PE) decreases due to the force of gravity pulling it downward. This decrease in PE is accompanied by an increase in kinetic energy (KE) as the object gains speed from its downward motion. Thus, energy is converted from PE to KE as the object falls.


Does uniform negative acceleration properly characterize the motion of a heavy object thrown violently downward from a tall building?

The largest variation from two objects moving downward either 'dropped' or 'thrown' thereby allowing earth's natural gravity to increase until an object approaches and/or reaches maximum velocity. The difference in the two examples, 'dropped' or 'thrown' objects merely illustrates that the "thrown" object will reach maximum velocity quicker than the 'dropped' object.


How does acceleration change when object is thrown veritcally upward under ideal conditions?

From the time the object leaves your hand, its acceleration doesn't change at all ... it remains constant at 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 downward. Well, we have to admit that the acceleration does change to zero once the object hits the ground.


When an object falls freely the kinetic energy of the object will?

increase as it falls due to the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy.

When the upward and downward forces on a falling object are equal the object reaches?

When the upward and downward forces on a falling object are equal, the object reaches terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.


What are all the forces that act on an object when it falls?

When an object falls, the main forces acting on it are gravity (pulling it downward) and air resistance (opposing its downward motion). In the absence of other factors, these two forces are the primary influences on the object's falling motion.


If you drop an object it will accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 meters per second squared if you instead throw it downwards its acceleration will be greater or less 9.8 meters per second?

Whether the object is dropped, thrown downwards, thrown upwards, or thrown horizontally, its downward acceleration is the same 9.8 meters per second2. If it's thrown downwards, however, its speed at any instant is greater than the speed at the same instant would be if it had only been dropped, since it has some speed before the acceleration begins.


Why falling objects don not move forward with a speed of 17700 mph?

And what makes you think an object would fall, or should fall, precisely at such a speed? How do you get that number? - Anyway, that's not the way our Universe works. Without air resistance, an object that falls downward falls faster and faster - its speed increasing by 9.8 meter/second every second. With air resistance, a falling object will eventually reach a speed at which friction (air resistance) balances the downward force of gravity. This speed is different for different objects.


What is a example of a force causes an object to chang position?

An example of a force that causes an object to change position is gravity. When an object is dropped, the force of gravity pulls it downward, causing it to change its position as it falls.


If an object is dropped from a plane then the trajectory of the object will be?

A parabolic path due to the combination of the object's forward motion from the plane and the downward force of gravity. This combination of forces causes the object to follow a curved path as it falls through the air.


What forces are acting on an object when it is falling at terminal velocity?

When an object is falling at terminal velocity, the forces of gravity pulling it downward and air resistance pushing upward are balanced. This results in a constant velocity for the object as it falls.
