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.
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)
travel horizontally
The friction will go down drastically.
If friction is more it leads to unwanted things
Gravity Rush happened in 2012.
Gravity Force happened in 1989.
Gravity Crash happened in 2009.
There's no known reason why anything should happen to Earth's gravity, and nothing is expected to.
Then the baseball would fly in a straight line, leaving Earth eventually (if it started in the correct direction).
Friction is what holds, stops things from moving. if there was no friction then things would be on the move 24/7.
This would be sliding friction and it could happen when:run on the floor
