When a batter hits a high fly ball and run a straight line to catch it which one would have a greater displacement?

The batter running in a straight line to catch the high fly ball would have a greater displacement compared to if they were running in a curving or zigzag pattern. Displacement is a vector quantity that measures the shortest distance between the initial and final positions, so running in a straight line would minimize the distance traveled and maximize the displacement.


If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would .?

It would travel in a straight line until air resistance brought it to a standstill. It would then hover at that point - in mid-air forever. If air resistance is also removed from the scenario an even stranger thing will happen. The ball will continue in a straight line forever. But, because of the curvature of the earth, the earth's surface will drop away so that the ball will actually fly off into space. One problem with this thought experiment is that the concept of a "straight" line depends on gravity.


Why does a fly never fly in a straight line?

Flies don't fly in a straight line because they use a zig-zag flight pattern called "cast and surge" to navigate their environment more effectively and avoid obstacles. This erratic flight behavior helps them quickly respond to threats or changes in their surroundings.


What causes a ball thrown straight up in a car going 60 miles per hour to not hit the back of the car?

The ball inherits the forward speed of the car when thrown inside it. As a result, the horizontal velocity of the ball inside the car matches that of the car itself. This causes the ball to maintain its position relative to the car's interior and not hit the back of the car.


Does a bullet fly straight?

Bullets do not fly perfectly straight due to external factors like air resistance, gravity, and wind. These forces can cause bullets to deviate from a straight path, impacting accuracy over long distances. Shooters must account for these factors when aiming to ensure accuracy.

What is it when a pitched ball bounces and the batter swings and hits it in fair territory and it is caught on a fly by a defensive player . Does it count as a fly ball or a ball that already bounced?

The bounce took place before the ball was hit so the ball is a fly ball.


What was the minni-ball during the civil war?

When the minni-ball was shot from the cannon, it would fly like a cannon ball, though had a distinct whistle to it. When the minni- ball would hit ground, or other solid matter, it would explode and send shrapnel everywhere. In this way, one minni-ball could kill many soldiers at once. Doctors often times had to dig around in a wound to get every piece of shrapnel out, and not even then would everything be found. THe minni-ball was one of the worst weapons (in terms of how many it killed) of the Civil War.
