When you push a ball into water, it displaces the water around it. The ball experiences an upwards buoyant force due to the water it displaces, causing it to partially float. The deeper you push the ball into the water, the greater the buoyant force acting on it.

What is the effect of your push on the ball?

Pushing the ball imparts a force that accelerates the ball in the direction of the push. The magnitude of the force and the duration of the push will determine the final velocity and distance the ball travels. Friction and air resistance will also play a role in determining the overall motion of the ball.


What happens when a ball is immersed in water?

There are many types of balls, and they have different densities. A basketball floats, a billiard ball sinks. In any event, if a ball is in water, there is some displacement of the water (so if you are doing it in a small tank, you can observe that the water level will rise). The ball gets wet. Sometimes this could be a good idea, if the ball in question needed to be cleaned.


If you pushed the ball to start it moving how would the strength of the push affect it's motion?

F = m * a Force (the push) equals mass (the "weight" of the ball) times acceleration (the rater of speed increase) The duration, direction, and the amount of force applied by the push affect the final velocity (the effect of the acceleration on the ball).


When you use your fingertips to push the ball what is that call?

Using your fingertips to push the ball in basketball is typically referred to as dribbling. Dribbling allows a player to move with the ball while maintaining possession and is a fundamental skill in the game.


If a ball is rolling in a straight line and you push it to the right velocity Will?

If you push the ball to the right velocity in the same direction, it will continue moving in a straight line with the new velocity. If there are no other forces acting on it, it will maintain constant velocity due to inertia.

Why does it get more difficult to push a beach ball underwater as you go deeper?

It's harder to push a beach ball underwater because it displaces more water than it weighs. (Gravitational Force is less than Buoyant Force)

Is hitting a tennis ball a push or pull?

It is a push. See you push it forward with the tennis racket, making it go forward, away from you. When you pull something, you're bringing it toward yourself. But when you hit a tennis ball, you push the ball away from you.


Why placing a dented table tennis ball in boiling water is one way to remove the dent in the ball?

The heat will cause the air inside the table-tennis ball (ping pong ball) to expand and so push the dint out.

What happens if your ball is on the green and another player chips his ball unto the green and it knocks your ball into the hole and his ball goes in as well?

Your ball is replaced, as near as possible to where it was before it was moved, no penalty. Your opponent unfortunately has to play his ball as it lies, if it's in the water then so be it, he would have to take a penalty drop from the water.
