How is air resistance related to a catapult?
the ball or whatever object that is thrown has air resistance so it makes it go farther or slower and that's how its related
A ball is thrown upward and caught when it comes back down In the presence of air resistance the speed with which it is caught is?
less than the speed it had when thrown upward.
Which ball will have a greater air resistance when the ball are dropped?
You can usually expect the larger ball to have more air resistance.
Which remains in the air longer a ball thrown upward or a ball thrown horizontally at the same speed?
Well, the ball thrown upward is obviously in the air longer before it hits the ground.It goes up for a while, before its upward speed drops to zero and it starts falling, soit effectively begins its drop from a higher altitude than a ball that you drop fromyour hand or throw horizontally.I think what you're really wanting to ask is: Which hits the ground first ... a ball thrownhorizontally or a ball just dropped from your hand ? The answer to THAT one is: If youignore air resistance, then they both hit the ground at the same time.For that matter . . . if you ignore air resistance, then it doesn't even matter if one of themis a bowling ball and the other one is a ping pong ball or a feather. They still both hit theground at the same time !Weird, no ?
What causes a ball to fall after being thrown into the air Is it because of frictional force Or only gravitational force?
Definitely gravitational force.

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.
Why might footbals travel farther when thrown in areas of higher elevation?
Less air therefore less air resistance. All other variables being the same, the air at higher elevations is less dense, and therefore provides less resistance to the ball flying through it. This allows the ball to travel further with the same force being applied.
How do you find the acceleration of a ball that is being thrown as a projectile as it is leaving your hand... Just the acceleration as it leaves the hand?
After, and at the exact moment, the ball leaves the hand it is only accelerated by gravity if you disregard air resistance.
A ball is thrown upward and caught when it comes back down In the presence of air resistance the speed with which it is caught is?
less than the speed it had when thrown upward.
What effect does the force of gravity have on the ball thrown upwards?
The ball returns to the ground with increasing velocity due to acceleration due to gravity. At a point (terminal velocity) the ball maintains a constant velocity (due to air resistance) This occurs when the weight of the ball is equal to the viscous drag of the air (air resistance) and upthrust (weight of air displaced).
Which ball will have a greater air resistance when the ball are dropped?
You can usually expect the larger ball to have more air resistance.
In which situations is mechanical energy conserved?
A ball is thrown up into the air withough encountering air resistance.
How is the word thrown used in sentence?
The ball was thrown high into the air.
What is an air ball?
An air ball is, in the game of basketball, a thrown ball which misses the target and fails to touch the net or hoop, or, by extension, any ball which widely misses its target when thrown.
A ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of a buildinga second ball is dropped from 1sec later ignore air resistance?
... and what is the question? The second ball should arrive at the floor a second after the first, both should have the same speed.
