It would fly and roll much farther than if it were thrown in earth's atmosphere due to reduced friction caused by the lack of air.

If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball what would happen to the ball?

travel horizontally


What would happen if a ball was thrown and there was no gravity?

If there was no gravity, the ball would not fall back down to the ground after being thrown. It would continue in a straight line with the same speed and direction it was thrown with until it was affected by another force.


What shape does the path of a thrown ball follow?

The ball follows a parabolic path when thrown. In a vacuum (with no air or other forces acting upon it) the gravitational pull of the earth causes the ball to accelerate toward the earth (9.8m/sec


Is the height above the ground from which the ball is thrown was increased the time of flight of the ball would?

If the height from which the ball is thrown is increased, the time of flight of the ball would increase as well. This is because the initial velocity of the ball would be higher, leading to a longer time for the ball to reach the ground.


Can a keeper pick up the ball if its thrown in?

If the ball was thrown-in by a teammate, no. If the ball was thrown-in by an opponent, yes.


If gravity did NOT affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would?

If the air is still, then the ball would move in a straight line, and come to a slow eventual stop due to friction with that air. If the air is moving, then the ball will slow down and eventually be moving around with the air, the amount of which would depend on the mass of the ball and the friction it has with the air. If it's in a perfect vacuum, then it will simply keep moving in a straight line at the speed that it was released at.


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.


Third base coach hit by thrown ball.is this a live ball?

YES ... this would be the same as if it was thrown and it the foul side walls ...


How will the speed of a ball thrown upward and a ball thrown downward compare upon striking the ground?

The speed of a ball thrown upward upon striking the ground will be the same as the speed at which it was thrown, but in the opposite direction. The speed of a ball thrown downward upon striking the ground will be faster than the speed at which it was thrown due to the acceleration from gravity.


What is the reason old ball travell faster then new ball thrown in the air with same speed and velocity?

If it's a ball like a tennis ball, an old ball would be smoother and would have less drag.


What happens to a ball thrown straight down from a bridge would have acceleration of?

The ball thrown straight down from a bridge will experience an acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, this acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 and acts in the downward direction. The acceleration will cause the ball to increase in speed as it falls towards the ground.
