An object on which there are no forces acting continues moving in a straight

line at constant speed. The forces on a Baseball are gravity and air resistance.

If gravity and air resistance didn't exist, then the ball would keep traveling in

a straight line and at a constant speed away from your hand. It would NOT

go into orbit around the Earth, since gravity is responsible for orbits. It would

just carry on in a straight line, out of the galaxy and across the universe.

It travels through the air, acted on by friction and gravity, until it encounters another material.


What happen to the force of friction if the surface of contact is polished?

Friction is still there and gravity causes that, if there is no gravity there is no friction. Only in your case friction is reduced because there is less drag because of the polished surface it is not harder to move along the surface. (assuming there is a force moving the object on top of the surface)
