How Fast Does A Rock Fall? In a previous unit, it was stated that all objects (regardless of their mass) free fall with the same acceleration – 9.8 m/s/s. This particular acceleration value is so important in physics that it has its own peculiar name – the acceleration of gravity – and its own peculiar
Can You Fall Off The Moon? Can you fall off the moon? Although you can jump very high on the moon, you’ll be happy to know that there’s no need to worry about jumping all the way off into space. In fact, you’d need to be going very fast – more than 2 kilometres per
Does Acceleration Increase In Free Fall? Does acceleration increase in free fall? Acceleration does not increase in a free fall. The acceleration on the surface of the earth is approximately equal to 9.8 m/s2. The velocity increases constantly but not the acceleration. How does acceleration affect free fall? Increasing force tends to increase acceleration while
Does A Fired Bullet Hit The Ground At The Same Time As A Dropped One? Does a fired bullet hit the ground at the same time as a dropped one? There you have it. The y-component of air resistance for the fired bullet still depends on the fired speed of the bullet (since it is
