I know planes can turn forward motion into upward force, but would a sphere take longer to hit the ground if it was launched straight forward at high speed than it would if it was dropped straight down.
Edit: what about frisbees or throw playing cards? are they actually falling slower because they’re moving fast or are they just maintaining maximum air resistance?
In: Physics
Iirc, the time might be different but the terminal velocity (fastest an object will move) should be the same. So like if you drop a basketball from 100 feet up or launch the basketball up 100 feet, at their fastest they’ll both have the same speed. Its been a while since I did physics last though so I could be off with that explanation
