How much farther can you throw a ball on the moon compared to earth?

u can throw a ball as far as u want. it just depends on how hard u throw it!


An astronaut throws a ball on the moon you throw an identical ball on earth using the same force which ball will travel a greater distance before it hits the ground?

the one on the moon will go farther due to the lack of air resistance and gravity.


Is it correct to say that satellites stay in orbit rather than falling to Earth because they are beyond the pull of earth's gravity?

No! They are in orbit because of earth's gravity. If they were beyond the pull of earth's gravity, they would fly off and never return. Everything that is in orbit around earth is falling towards earth. Their orbital velocity is great enough so that it compensates for the downward pull.When you throw a ball it falls in a curve. Throw it harder and the ball will fall farther away but will still fall along a curve. Throw it as hard as possible and it will still follow a curved path and eventually land. Gravity causes it to fall along a curve. Now imagine throwing a ball SO HARD that it returns to you from the opposite direction. Gravity has been pulling on it causing it to move along a curved path, but its velocity sends it around earth in an orbit.


Why do things in space stay in space?

Things that 'stay' in space are in orbit round something. This means that they are actually falling!For instance if you throw a ball up it will fall back down. Now throw it up and away from you, it will go up and then come down but its path is a curve. The harder/faster you throw it the longer that curve.If it were possible to remove the air from around Earth (which slows things down) and you could throw something fast enough, then the curve of its path would match the curve of the earth, when this happens the object you throw will orbit the Earth - it will stay up!On Earth (in its atmosphere) you can never get something into orbit because the air slows the thing you throw down, which is why you have to launch the object up outside the atmosphere (into space) to get it to orbit. The launch rocket first goes UP then tilts over to accelerate the space ship to go round the Earth fast enough for it to stay in space.The space ship stays in space BY FALLING but CONTINUOUSLY MISSING the earth as to falls due to its forward momentum.


What happens if we throw a ball in space?

The ball will not be affected by drag. Only gravity will affect its trajectory.

When you throw a ball up into the air on a windy day the motion of your arm is a force that affects the flight path of the ball What other forces affects the path of the ball?

Some forcess that affect the path of the ball is gravity which pushes the ball down to earth and wind could effect the path by blowing the ball a certain direction.
