A ball is thrown straight up into the air at what position is the gravitational energy at its maximum?

Why does small ball go farther than big ball when you throw it?
Because of the air resistant
When you throw a ball what happens what tow forces?
gravity and air resistance
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.

You throw a ball up in the air. The ball comes down instead of floating in the air.
