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).

inertia acts as the Newton's first law of motion. (object in motion stays in motion and object in rest stays at rest unless an exerted force exerts upon it.)
Gravity pulls the object back to earth like an arch
Friction slows the object don

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?

What are some other forces that affect a ball?
gravity friction inertia
Why does a rolling ball stop after some time?
Its inertia is overcome by gravity and other factors such as air resistance and friction.
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.
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.
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
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!
What forces a moving ball to slow down?
Friction. And somewhat the gravity, which causes the friction.
What are the forces acting on the egg as it falls?
There are several, the strongest being gravity, followed by air resistance (stops the ball from going faster than about 120mph), there's also the force from light sources (light has momentum), friction at the surface of the ball between the air and the ball (not just resistance but generation of heat), and the changes in electromagnetic fields generated by the atoms of the ball itself.
What causes a bowling ball to stop on earth?
Inertia and gravity cause a bowling ball to stop on earth.
A ball thrown in the air will never go as far as physics ideally would predict because what?
gravity is acting on it, one can never throw the ball fast enough, ideally the ball will never land and the air friction slows down the ball
