Because space is extremely curved in proximity to the huge mass of the earth.
Or because the force of gravity causes attraction between the ball and the Earth.
It depends on which aspect of physics you are using.
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.
A dive is when you go for the ball [To fall on the ground or to land on knees to hit the volley ball]
weight doesnt matter, the bigger one, which has the higher resistance will fall a tiny bit slower
The force that causes the ball to fall to the ground is gravity. Gravity is a natural force that attracts objects towards each other, and in the case of the ball falling, it is being pulled towards the Earth's center by the force of gravity.
Yes
In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass or composition. This principle is known as the equivalence principle of gravity. So, a ball closer to the ground would not fall faster than one higher up.
Whichever you drop first will fall first and hit the ground first.If you drop them at exactly the same time from the sameplace, they fall together and hit the ground together.
Air resistance. (friction).
t matters how much mass the ball has
The potential energy of the rubber ball is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. When the ball hits the ground, some of the energy is absorbed by the ball and the ground, while the rest is converted to other forms such as sound and heat.
A rock that is dropped, and a apple falling from a tree.Hold a ball in your hand, stretch out your arm, and drop the ball. As it is moving towards the ground, it is in free fall.
They will fall at the same rate, for more information Google "why was the leaning tower of Pisa built"
