How much farther can you throw a ball on the moon compared to earth?

You can throw a ball much farther on the moon compared to Earth due to its weaker gravity, which is about one-sixth the strength of Earth's gravity. This means that objects on the moon experience less gravitational pull, allowing them to travel further when thrown.


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.


What happens if we throw a ball in space?

The ball will not be affected by drag. Only gravity will affect its trajectory.


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.


Does a ball falling to earth violate conservation of momentum?

No. As a ball accelerates toward the Earth, the Earth is also accelerating to the ball. The Earth's acceleration is much too small to be detectable. But multiplied by the Earth's large mass, it is equal and opposite to the increase in the ball's momentum.

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.

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.
