Why things thrown upward goes back to the ground?

Because they are in Earth's gravity well. They would have to move much faster than you can throw them to keep going up instead of falling back down.


A ball is thrown upward and caught when it comes back down In the presence of air resistance the speed with which it is caught is?

less than the speed it had when thrown upward.


What happened to the ball when you thrown upward?

It comes back downward! :) enjoi!


Which force makes a thrown ball fall back to the ground?

Gravity is the force which makes a thrown ball fall back to the ground. It is the force which attracts all objects to the Earth.

When you jump does the world recoil downward?

When you jump, your body propels itself upward by exerting force on the ground. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, when you push down on the ground to jump, the ground pushes back with an equal force, propelling you upward.


What happens to out-of-date electronics that retailers can't sell?

some places have a storage and sorting area out in a back room that things generally eventually get thrown out or things just get thrown out and no sorting area


Why does the materials thrown upward during meteorite collisions fall back to the moon's surface?

Our Earth's only Moon enjoys a fraction of the Earth's gravity - there is some gravity there.


As you leap upward from the ground how does the force that you exert on the ground compare with your weight?

As you leap upward from the ground, the force exerted on the ground in the moment of leaping is greater than your weight. This allows you to accelerate upwards. Gravity, of course, will bring you back down, causing another momentary force on the ground in excess of your weight as you decelerate.


If a ball is thrown up into the air at what point does it have the least potential energy?

When it is lowest - that's when you just threw it, or when it falls back to the ground.


When ball is thrown upward then applied force is constant why not speed of ball is constant?

because there if speed is constant than ball never come back to earth hence speed of ball is not constant


How high can a ball go?

The maximum height of a thrown ball is dependent on the upward portion of the initial velocity. Air friction will slow it somewhat but gravity will cause it to lose most of its upward velocity. The velocity will decrease by 9.8 m/sec for each second of its upward motion, until it reaches zero. At that point, the ball is pulled back toward Earth.
