Gravity pull it back to earth, and once it touches the earth, it loses energy after deforming and heating up as a result of friction.

It should be noted that if a ball would be thrown in space, and assuming nothing will get in its way, it will indeed go on forever.

In the absence of air resistance at what other angle will a thrown ball go the same distance as one thrown at an angle of 75 degrees?

The answer is 45 degrees. If given the same velocity, and thrown at say...10 degrees, to the ground, then the distance it would travel is the same as the distance it would travel if it were thrown 80 degrees. Complementary angles end up at the same distance horizontally.


How can a ball thrown vertically have the same time flight as a ball thrown at an angle when they have the same maximum height?

They might seem like they have the same flight patterns, but they don't. A 12-6 curveball thrown by an over-hander will go from 12 to 6, but if the same is thrown by a 3/4 or side-armer, the ball will react a little more like a slider.

Does the baseball go faster towards homeplate or when it is hit back into the field of play?

here is an example of mass and velocity. The mass of the ball does not change, thrown by a pitcher, the ball can never go the distance that a well hit ball can, to, it has to be the upsurge in speed by being hit.
