Simply put, the answer is: Because there's nothing to stop it.
Any time you come anywhere near Newton's laws of motion, you're continually
bumping into the idea that an object continues in constant uniform motion, with
constant speed and in a straight line, until it's acted on by an external force.

Why does small ball go farther than big ball when you throw it?
Because of the air resistant
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.
A ball thrown in the air will never go as far as physics ideally would predict because what?
gravity is acting on it, one can never throw the ball fast enough, ideally the ball will never land and the air friction slows down the ball
Do light things go into the air more then heavy things do?
Yes, lighter objects weigh less, therefore causing them to stay aloft in the air for a longer period of time. For example, (and this isn't exact, just an example) you can throw a 5 ounce tennis ball higher into the air than you can throw a 13 pound bowling ball.
When a ball is thrown why doesnt it go on forever?
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.
What happens if you throw a ball in space?
it will go on for ever! there is not air resistance to stop it.
What is scratch-throw?
it is a scratch throw when you throw the ball it will go straght
What is scratch throw?
it is a scratch throw when you throw the ball it will go straght
Will a ball go further if you throw it west?
no
How do you turn into a puffle on cp any color?
just throw a snow ball at the door and go to the dojo throw a snowball at the two lamps and then go to pizza parlor and throw a snow ball at menu and then say what color you want to be and then go back to igloo and there you are
What can you do for your science project on softball pitching?
A good projet for soft ball or base ball is what angle to throw a ball (or how to throw a ball) to make it more aerodynamic and go faster. I hope this helped. -Teek.
Why does small ball go farther than big ball when you throw it?
Because of the air resistant
Why does a tennis ball go far if you throw it?
When you throw the tennis ball, it flies for a distance before dropping down because when you throw the tennis ball, you use force, which is transferred to the tennis ball, which then converts to kinetic energy (movement energy), to allow the tennis ball to go far.
Suppose you were able to throw a ball in outer space would it slow down as quickly in space as it does on Earth?
No. There is no atmosphere in outer space. So there would be less resistance to slow the ball down. Not so. There is no resistance in space, it is a vacuum. It would go on forever unless acted upon by an outside force, such as the gravitational pull of another object. Simple Newtonian physics.
What is underhand pitch?
you pull which ever hand you throw with, back. then, you bring your hand the opposite way you did to pull it back. then at one point, you let go of the ball.
when you throw a ball at awall, what force makes it go for ward?
kinetic energy makes it go forward
Does the weight of the softball and the baseball effect the speed?
Well if you throw a bowling ball and a golf ball, which is gonna go faster?
