Students have asked these similar questions
A bullet fired from a rifle begins to fall(a) as soon as it leaves the barrel.(b) after air friction reduces its speed.(c) not at all if air resistance is ignored.
Why does an object stop moving eventually even if it appears that no forces are being acted upon it?
An object moves with unchanging speed in a straight line. Does it then have no forces acting on it?
