The earths gravitational pull would effect the ball so that once it reaches a certaion height it wouold fall back to earth. It prevents the ball leaving earths atmosphere.

Is The moon the earths closest star?

The moon is not a star. It is a large ball of rock that orbits Earth as a satellite. A star is a huge ball of burning gas. Our star is called The Sun.


How big does an object have to be to have gravitational force?

every thing has a gravitational force, the more mass however will increase the force for instance if i dropped a bowling ball it will fall tward the earth rather than the earth falling to it, but if that bowling ball was in space and for some reason there was a marble floating along it would be pulled tward the bowling ball. if you get on youtube sometime there is this seires that steven Hawkins did and he talks about gravity a little. also look up carl segan videos (i like his videos better)


What does the moon have that the sun and moon don't have?

The moon has a gravitational effect on Earth that causes tides, which is not caused by the sun. Additionally, the moon has a surface with craters and mountains, while the sun is a ball of hot gases without a solid surface.


Motion under the influence of gravitational pull only?

An object under the influence of gravitational pull will experience a constant acceleration directed towards the center of the gravitational field, following a curved path known as a projectile motion. The motion's speed changes continuously, increasing as the object falls towards the source of gravity. Examples include the motion of a ball thrown in the air or the orbit of a satellite around a planet.


Is the mass of the rubber ball different on the moon?

No, the mass of the rubber ball would remain the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is independent of the gravitational field it is in. However, the weight of the rubber ball would be less on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull.

If air resistance can be neglected how does the acceleration of a ball that has been tossed straight upward compare with its acceleration if simply dropped?

If air resistance can be neglected, the acceleration of a ball tossed straight upward is the same as when it is dropped - both experience a gravitational acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 downward. The initial velocity of the tossed ball would cause it to momentarily counteract the acceleration and then eventually slow down and reverse direction due to gravity.

What happens to potential energy when a ball is tossed into the air?

The potential energy of the ball decreases as it rises due to kinetic energy converting to gravitational potential energy. At the highest point of its trajectory, the potential energy is at its maximum. When the ball falls back down, the potential energy is converted back to kinetic energy.
