Yes, air resistance is on everything where there is air.

A ball is thrown upward and caught when it comes back down In the presence of air resistance the speed with which it is caught is?

Slower than the initial speed it was thrown upward with due to air resistance causing the ball to lose speed as it travels through the air. The force of air resistance acts against the direction of motion and slows down the ball.


What is the acceleration of a ball after it has been thrown into the air?

The acceleration of a ball after it has been thrown into the air is due to gravity acting on it. While the ball is in free fall, it experiences a constant acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 downward (assuming no air resistance).


What causes a ball to fall after being thrown into the air Is it because of frictional force Or only gravitational force?

The main force causing a ball to fall after being thrown into the air is gravity. Although air resistance, a form of frictional force, does play a role in slowing down the ball's motion, it is not the primary reason the ball falls back to the ground. Gravity pulls the ball downward, causing it to accelerate towards the Earth.


When ball is thrown upward what will be constant?

The only constant when a ball is thrown upward is the acceleration due to gravity acting in the opposite direction to the velocity of the ball. Other factors, such as air resistance and the initial velocity of the ball, may change as the ball moves.


If a ball is thrown in the air what Speed that a ball hits the ground?

The answer depends on how high the ball is thrown and at what angle. If the ball is thrown on Earth, Earth's gravity has objects fall at an increasing rate of 32 feet per second per second. This means that an object will go 32 feet per second faster every second it is falling down in the air. So, the higher the ball is in the air, the faster it goes as it is about to hit the ground.

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

The ball would continue straight without any gravitational forces acting on it, and without air resistance. If you consider air resistance, then the spin of the ball may give it a curved path, and eventually the ball would stop traveling as the air resistance slows down the ball.

How do you find the acceleration of a ball that is being thrown as a projectile as it is leaving your hand... Just the acceleration as it leaves the hand?

After, and at the exact moment, the ball leaves the hand it is only accelerated by gravity if you disregard air resistance.

Why might footbals travel farther when thrown in areas of higher elevation?

Less air therefore less air resistance. All other variables being the same, the air at higher elevations is less dense, and therefore provides less resistance to the ball flying through it. This allows the ball to travel further with the same force being applied.


What effect does the force of gravity have on the ball thrown upwards?

The ball returns to the ground with increasing velocity due to acceleration due to gravity. At a point (terminal velocity) the ball maintains a constant velocity (due to air resistance) This occurs when the weight of the ball is equal to the viscous drag of the air (air resistance) and upthrust (weight of air displaced).


What force acts on the bowling ball?

The force that acts on a bowling ball is gravity pulling it downward towards the center of the Earth. Additionally, when the ball is thrown or rolled, external forces such as friction and air resistance will also act on it.


What force is not acting upon a ball that is thrown in the air?

The force of friction is not acting upon a ball that is thrown in the air. Friction is a force that opposes motion, but when a ball is thrown in the air, there is no surface contact for friction to act upon.


Why does a ball that is thrown straight curve downward?

A ball thrown straight will curve downward due to the pull of gravity acting on it. As the ball moves forward, gravity exerts a downward force on it, causing it to follow a curved path towards the ground. This downward curve is influenced by factors such as air resistance and the initial velocity and angle at which the ball was thrown.
