No. For a start, you probably don't mean "acceleration" you probably mean "speed" or "velocity." There is a non-linear relationship between force applied on an object and the speed which it will travel through a medium (in this case, air). To double the speed, the amount of force required is more than double, since as the speed of the object increases, the frictional losses similarly increase. Since in this case, the ball will continue to slow immediately after release, the ball is experiencing "acceleration" with a negative value. A In case you are really asking about acceleration the answer is yes. If the ball, in your hand, starts from rest and is accelerated up to some velocity at which it leaves your hand then that acceleration will be double if you throw with twice the force. This will cause the ball to leave your hand with twice the velocity. Once it leaves your hand you are no longer exerting a force on it and the ball will be subject to air resistance which will affect its velocity as described above.

What is the speed and acceleration of a ball rolling down a hill?

The acceleration of a tennis ball rolling down an incline depends with two factors. The force that is applied to the tennis ball and the mass of the tennis ball will determine its acceleration.


Why does the force of gravity do no work on a bowling ball rolling down a bowling alley?

Work is definied in Physics as the Force acting on an object times the distance the object is moved by that Force, or W = fd Since Force is mass times acceleration (F=ma), and because the ball is on a surface that is perpendicular to the force exerted by gravity, there is no gravitational acceleration (a), hence no Force, so no Work is done by gravity.


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.


Newton's 1st law of motion states that a moving object will go in a straight line unless an outside force changes this motion What outside force prevents the planets from moving in a straight line in?

It's not that there is some force keeping the planets from falling into the sun; the sun's gravity prevents the planets from travelling in a straight line out of the solar system. If you throw a ball in a straight line then it keeps going, but if you throw a ball on a rope tied to a pole then the rope pulls the ball toward the pole and keeps the ball moving in a circle.


What are some real life examples of Newton's second law of motion?

The second law of motion states that the acceleration of the an object depends on the mass of the object and the size of the force acting on it a good example is bowling because the acceleration of the bowling ball hitting the pins are hitting the shape and the size of it. And the force acting on it is the bowling ball and bowling pin that is an example of the second law of motion.

When you throw a ball your hand applies blank to the ball?

When you throw a ball, your hand applies force to the ball. The force propels the ball forward, giving it speed and direction.


What is the acceleration caused by your push on the ball?

The acceleration of the ball would depend on its mass and the force of the push. This is because force = mass times acceleration. You could manipulate this equation to solve for acceleration by dividing each side by mass. Acceleration therefore equals force/mass.


Where can you throw the ball to get a force out when a runner is on 1st base and the ball is hit?

To get a force out when a runner is on 1st base and the ball is hit, you can throw the ball to 2nd base.

Is force required to throw a ball upward?

Yes, force is required to throw a ball upward. The force applied by your arm gives the ball its initial velocity to overcome gravity and travel upward.


What is the acceleration of a kg ball thrown with a force of 25 N?

The acceleration of the ball can be calculated using Newton's second law, which states that acceleration is equal to the force applied divided by the mass of the object. In this case, the acceleration would be 25 N divided by the mass of the ball in kg.


When you catch a ball it creates a force on your hand the reaction force is?

-- When you catch a ball, you have to change its speed from something to nothing. -- That requires acceleration, and acceleration requires force. -- The force that changes the speed of the ball from something to nothing comes from the muscles in your catching arm.


Is work done when you throw a ball?

Yes, work is done when you throw a ball. When you exert force on the ball to throw it, you are transferring energy to the ball, thus doing work on it. This work results in the ball gaining kinetic energy as it moves.


What forces are needed to throw a ball?

When you throw a ball, you mainly use the force generated by your muscles to propel the ball forward. This force is transferred to the ball through your arm. Additionally, the force of gravity acts on the ball once it is released, causing it to fall towards the ground.


Would a bigger ball have more acceleration than a smaller ball or be the same as a smaller ball?

Assuming all other factors are equal, a bigger ball would have the same acceleration as a smaller ball when subject to the same force. This is because acceleration is dependent on force and mass, and in this case, the increased mass of the bigger ball would require more force to achieve the same acceleration as the smaller ball.
