When you first throw a ball inertia is the main property. Inertia is the tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Those outside forces are air friction and gravity. Without those forces the ball would keep traveling forever in the direction it was going when it first left your hand. Air friction will slow it down so when the ball is caught (or lands) it is traveling slightly slower than when you first threw it. Gravity is the force that pulls it back down to Earth (or you can think of it as the force that gives it that nice arc).
What else can I help you with?
Three types of Kinetic Friction?
Inertia of Rest Inertia of Motion Inertia of Direction
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 force is acting upon a ball that is thrown in the air?
On the bullet itself, gravity and air friction.
Why is it harder to overcome the inertia of a bowling ball than a baseball?
The only real way to answer this is to define the terms, then it should make sense. Mass - How much of something there is, and what its made of. A rock and a spunge may be the same size, but the rock has more mass. Gravity - The force of attraction between any two objects. Usually the Earth, and somthing else. Based on the masses of the two objects. Weight - The amount of force due to gravity. A rock on earth will weigh less on mars because the mass of mars is less than the mass of earth. This is also why you don't feel 'weight' between you and your cup of coffee. The masses of the two objects is much too small to be felt. This is the same thing as 'heavy,' just a different word. Inertia - Refers to how much energy you need to get an object moving. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has. This is totally independent from gravity or weight. With those definitions, you should be able to figure it out. Bowling balls are heavier because they have more mass, and they are heavy because of gravity. Also, bowling balls have more inertia, because they have more mass.
Which has the least inertia cat horse balloon or bowling ball?
cat
Describe how gravity inertia and friction play a role in throwing a ball?
Gravity affects the trajectory of the ball by pulling it downward, causing it to follow a curved path. Inertia refers to the ball's resistance to changes in its state of motion, influencing how far the ball can travel. Friction between the ball and the air can slow down its speed and alter its trajectory.
What are some other forces that affect a ball?
Air resistance, gravity, friction with the ground, and the impact force from a collision with another object are all forces that can affect the motion of a ball.
Does inertia stop a ball that has been kicked?
No, inertia does not stop a ball once it has been kicked. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force, so the ball will continue moving until another force (like friction or gravity) slows it down or stops it.
What force happens when you throw a ball?
The resistance the ground has on the ball causes it to slow down and this force is called friction. Ice has little friction which is why the ball would have rolled further on ice for instance.
Does inertia keep moving ahead?
Inertia is the property of matter to stay in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is altered by some force. Even on the moon, inertia is at work. For example, if you throw a ball on the moon, it would continue moving until the moon's gravity and the friction on the moon's surface brought it to rest. If the ball is on the ground, it will stay in place until a force acts upon it.
Why does a rolling ball stop after some time?
A rolling ball stops due to the presence of friction between the ball and the surface it is rolling on. As the ball rolls, friction gradually slows down its motion by converting its kinetic energy into heat. Additionally, air resistance can also contribute to the ball's deceleration.
What causes a ball to slow down and then stop?
gravity has same pull on weight & mass no matter what
Why can inertia hurt you?
Inertia can hurt you, because it is the force of moving forward. For example, if you throw a ball, inertia "pushes" the ball forward, and could hit the person you threw it too!
How does inertia affect bowling?
Inertia affects bowling by causing the bowling ball to resist changes in its motion. When the bowler releases the ball, its inertia keeps it moving in a straight line until acted upon by external forces like friction with the lane and gravity. The weight and mass of the ball determine how much force is needed to change its direction or speed.
What forces a moving ball to slow down?
Friction. And somewhat the gravity, which causes the friction.
What causes a bowling ball to stop on earth?
Inertia and gravity cause a bowling ball to stop on earth.
Why does friction and gravity act on a soccer ball?
That question doesnt exactly make sense, but if you meant HOW does friction and gravity AFFECT a soccer ball, the friction of the grass and ball affects the speed, and the gravity pushes the ball down to the ground. Hope it helped! -Cara
