What object exhibit two dimensional?
An object thrown upward at an angle An object that's thrown horizontally off a cliff and allowed to fall
A ball is thrown horizontally from a cliff and hits the ground 4 seconds later 40 meters from the base of the cliff?
The ball was thrown horizontally at 10 meters per sec, and the thrower's arm was 78.4 meters above the base of the cliff.
A ball is thrown horizontally from a cliff and hits the ground 4 seconds later 40 meters from the base of the cliff How fast was the ball thrown?
10 m/s
How can a ball be thrown that it reaches the longest distance across vertically horizontally angled?
if the bal is thrown by making 45 degree angles. with the ground..it will travel maximum distance...
How does the angle thrown affect the distance of a ball thrown?
yes it does the optimal ang
What does gravity do to the path of an object that is thrown horiziontally?
It doesn't matter whether the object is thrown down, up, horizontally, or diagonally. Once it leaves the thrower's hand, it is accelerated downward by an amount equal to acceleration of gravity on the planet where this is all happening. On Earth, if you throw an object horizontally, it accelerates downward at the rate of 9.8 meters per second2 ... just as it would if you simply dropped it. Whether it's dropped or thrown horizontally, it hits the ground at the same time.
What is the furthest distance an object has been thrown by a human vertically and horizontally?
Horizontally
What happen when an object thrown horizontally?
Your question is incomplete. It sounds like you are asking how the object falls. Aside from air resistance, the only force acting on it is the vertical component of gravity. Therefore, the object will fly a distance x = v (2d/g)1/2 where v is the horizontal velocity, d is the distance from the ground, and g is the acceleration of gravity.
If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would .?
It would travel in a straight line until air resistance brought it to a standstill. It would then hover at that point - in mid-air forever. If air resistance is also removed from the scenario an even stranger thing will happen. The ball will continue in a straight line forever. But, because of the curvature of the earth, the earth's surface will drop away so that the ball will actually fly off into space. One problem with this thought experiment is that the concept of a "straight" line depends on gravity.
A ball is thrown horizontally from a window on the second floor of a building What is the vertical component of its initial velocity?
If a ball is thrown horizontally from a window on the second floor of a building, the vertical component of its initial velocity is zero.

How does gravity affect running?
If gravity wasn't here we would be thrown off the planet. Also the nanosecond you lifted up your foot even a millimeter you would keep going forever until you hit something. You cant run without gravity.
If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would what?
The ball would continue straight without any gravitational forces acting on it, and without air resistance. If you consider air resistance, then the spin of the ball may give it a curved path, and eventually the ball would stop traveling as the air resistance slows down the ball.
A basketball is thrown up into the air at it highest point the basketball stops for a fraction of a second The reason that this happen is that?
gravity The downward force of gravity becomes greater than the force you put into throwing the ball upward.
Why do you think a freely falling body and one thrown horizontally as a projectile strike the floor at the same time?
Though they are thrown in different ways, in both the cases the vertical component of the velocity at the starting is zero. Acceleration due to gravity is acting downward in the same direction in both the cases. So they reach the floor at the same time.
What forces will act on a baseball after its been thrown?
gravity
