If no force (gravity, friction, or any other force) acts on an object, it will continue moving indefinitely, without changing its velocity (i.e., speed and direction).

i dont know im not a smart ass you know!!!!


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.


What happens if we throw a ball in space?

The ball will not be affected by drag. Only gravity will affect its trajectory.


When you throw a ball what happens can you explain what two forces act on the ball?

When you throw a ball, two main forces act on it: the force of the throw propelling it forward, and the force of gravity pulling it downward. The throw provides the initial thrust while gravity causes the ball to follow a curved path back to the ground.


When you throw a ball what happens what tow forces?

When you throw a ball, two main forces are acting on it: the force of your throw propels the ball forward, while gravity pulls it downward towards the ground. The interaction of these two forces determines the ball's trajectory and how far it will travel.


Does gravity take over when you throw an object How does gravity work when you throw an object?

yes..slow it down from the constant weight of the gravity it self


When you throw a ball what happens and what 2 forces act on the ball?

When you throw a ball, it accelerates from your hand and moves through the air in a parabolic trajectory. The two main forces acting on the ball are gravity, which pulls it downward, and air resistance, which opposes its motion through the air. Gravity causes the ball to eventually fall back to the ground, while air resistance slows it down as it travels. Together, these forces influence the ball's flight path and speed.


What happens to a balls kinetic energy if you throw a ball twice as fast?

If you throw a ball twice as fast, its kinetic energy will increase four times. Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity, so doubling the velocity will result in a four-fold increase in kinetic energy.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of having friction in sport?

These are a few of the great many advantages and disadvantages of having friction in sport: Friction allows a running person to stop, change direction, jump, catch a ball, and throw a ball. Friction between a ball and the air limits how far it can be thrown (although gravity has an even greater effect). Runners require energy to overcome the friction between their feet and the ground.


How is gravity inertia and friction used to throw a ball?

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).


What is gravity is like on the planet?

Gravity is the force that pulls you to the ground. Example: When we throw an apple it falls down because of gravity.


Why when throw a stone up it comes down?
