An astronaut throws a ball on the moon you throw an identical ball on earth using the same force which ball will travel a greater distance before it hits the ground?
The ball thrown on the moon would travel a greater distance before hitting the ground due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth. The lower gravity allows the ball to stay in the air for a longer time and cover more distance before falling back down compared to the ball thrown on Earth with its higher gravity.
Is it correct to say that satellites stay in orbit rather than falling to Earth because they are beyond the pull of earth's gravity?
No! They are in orbit because of earth's gravity. If they were beyond the pull of earth's gravity, they would fly off and never return. Everything that is in orbit around earth is falling towards earth. Their orbital velocity is great enough so that it compensates for the downward pull.When you throw a ball it falls in a curve. Throw it harder and the ball will fall farther away but will still fall along a curve. Throw it as hard as possible and it will still follow a curved path and eventually land. Gravity causes it to fall along a curve. Now imagine throwing a ball SO HARD that it returns to you from the opposite direction. Gravity has been pulling on it causing it to move along a curved path, but its velocity sends it around earth in an orbit.
If you were standing on moon with a ball in your hand and you let go of it the ball would do what?
The ball would float and slowly fall to the surface of the moon due to the moon's weaker gravity compared to Earth.
What kind of motion would you expect if you threw a ball on the moon?
The ball would follow a parabolic trajectory due to the gravitational pull of the moon. Since the moon has less gravity than Earth, the ball would travel farther and stay in the air longer before eventually falling back down.
How does the moon low gravity affect the game of golf?
The lower gravity on the moon allows golf balls to travel much farther and stay in the air longer compared to Earth, leading to longer drives and higher shots. Players would need to adjust their swing power and technique to account for the reduced gravity in order to accurately gauge distances and hit the ball straight.
Would you be able to hit a golf ball farther on earth or Pluto?
You would hit a golf ball farther on Earth due to its stronger gravitational pull compared to Pluto's weaker gravity. This means the ball would stay in the air longer on Earth and travel a greater distance before landing.

Why does small ball go farther than big ball when you throw it?
A smaller ball can travel farther when thrown due to its lower air resistance compared to a larger ball. The smaller size allows it to cut through the air more easily, experiencing less drag and allowing it to maintain its velocity over a longer distance.
Do people usually throw a softball baseball or a tennis ball farther?
easily a baseball, try it.
Why a golf ball that is hit on the moon travels much farther than a golf ball that is hit with same force on earth?
A golf ball hit on the moon travels much farther than one hit on Earth primarily due to the moon's lower gravitational pull, which is about one-sixth that of Earth's. This reduced gravity means that the ball experiences less downward force, allowing it to stay in the air longer and travel farther. Additionally, the absence of an atmosphere on the moon eliminates air resistance, further enhancing the ball's distance. Combined, these factors result in significantly longer trajectories for golf balls on the moon compared to Earth.
Why does a ball fall to Earth when you throw it up in the air?
gravity
When you throw a ball it goes up then goes down why?
When you throw a ball, gravity pulls it towards the earth. Initially, the force of your throw propels the ball upwards against gravity until it reaches its peak height. Once at the peak, gravity starts acting on the ball causing it to descend back towards the ground.
When you throw a basketball up in the air where does the gravitational pull of Earth affect it the most?
The gravitational pull affects it more or less uniformly. There are very, very slight differences caused by the height of the throw and the width of the ball but, compared to the distance from the centre of the earth, these distances are tiny and so have no effect.
Does the different type of football affect how far it goes?
Yes, because if it is a small ball then you can grip it better therefore allowing you to throw it farther. If it is a college or high school ball you must have big hands to throw it a decent distance.
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.
What ball rolls farther on grass or dirt?
A ball will typically roll farther on grass than on dirt due to the smoother surface and less resistance provided by grass compared to the uneven and rough texture of dirt. The reduced friction on grass allows the ball to travel further with each roll.
Is Earth as smooth as a cue ball?
No, Earth is not as smooth as a cue ball. Earth's surface has various features like mountains, valleys, and oceans, making it much more uneven compared to a cue ball.
