The answer is relative to what you are throwing, a half deflated helium balloon might stay up for 6 seconds with the slightest throw, whereas a 5 pound weight would have to be hurled pretty hard to have the same hang time. What you really want to research is terminal velocity to find your answer

If you are riding in a fast moving car in what direction would you throw an object so that it will return to your hand?

Forward. When you throw an object, you'll be traveling at a high acceleration and velocity fast enough that when you throw the object you'll catch very quickly, mostly because you would throw it slower than the acceleration of the car.-----------If you are accelerating, the above is true--you would need to throw ahead of you at an angle for it to return to your hand. However, if the car is traveling quickly but at a constant speed, you would simply throw it straight upward, like you normally would. This is because both you and the object are already traveling at the same speed in the same direction.


When does an object not move downwards under the effect of gravity?

On every object on earth, earth exerts a force on it which is equal to the weight of object. When we throw a object it earth exerts force on it and it came downwards but if we throw it with escape velocity then it will not move downwards.


If you throw a heavy object forward you tend to fall back. Why?

When you throw a heavy object forward, according to Newton's third law of motion, there is an equal and opposite reaction pushing you backward. This reaction is due to the force that you apply to the heavy object causing an equal reaction force in the opposite direction, leading to you falling back.
