Gravity pull it back to earth, and once it touches the earth, it loses energy after deforming and heating up as a result of friction.

It should be noted that if a ball would be thrown in space, and assuming nothing will get in its way, it will indeed go on forever.

In the absence of air resistance at what other angle will a thrown ball go the same distance as one thrown at an angle of 75 degrees?

The answer is 45 degrees. If given the same velocity, and thrown at say...10 degrees, to the ground, then the distance it would travel is the same as the distance it would travel if it were thrown 80 degrees. Complementary angles end up at the same distance horizontally.


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.


Will a ball thrown almost horizontally go the furthest?

No, this is an example of projectile motion. You should throw it at 45 degrees from the horizontal ground for it to have the maximum horizontal distance. This is because a sufficient height must be achieved, so that the ball can stay in the air longer and thus travel a longer distance while in flight.


Will a ball with less or heavier mass go further?

A ball with less mass will typically go further than a heavier ball when thrown or hit with the same force, as it is easier to accelerate and maintain its velocity. However, factors such as air resistance and the surface it bounces on can also influence how far a ball travels.


How far would a tennis ball (100g) go if thrown from your catapult at a height of 1m with a force of 50 N and at an angle of (50 degree) from the horizontal?

The distance the tennis ball would go can be calculated using projectile motion equations. With the given information and assuming no air resistance, the ball would travel approximately 20 meters horizontally before hitting the ground.

Which will go higher when thrown straight up a regulation tennis ball or a golf ball?

probobly the tennis ball because it is lighter

What is the property that keeps a bowling ball go straight?

Bad form. A skilfully thrown bowling ball travels on a curve.


How can a ball thrown vertically have the same time flight as a ball thrown at an angle when they have the same maximum height?

They might seem like they have the same flight patterns, but they don't. A 12-6 curveball thrown by an over-hander will go from 12 to 6, but if the same is thrown by a 3/4 or side-armer, the ball will react a little more like a slider.


When the ball is at a thrown in spot and then is passed into the court then goes untouched out of bounds where is the ball placed for the throw in?

Start at the backboard and go thru the hoop.


How fast will a ball thrown straight down go?

10 meters per second due to gravity


What would happen if a ball was thrown and there was no gravity?

If there was no gravity, the ball would not fall back down to the ground after being thrown. It would continue in a straight line with the same speed and direction it was thrown with until it was affected by another force.


Why a ball flies high when it is thrown upwards?

because of gravity and force. what goes up must go down. it also depends on how hard you throw the ball.


A balls is thrown upwards with a velocity of 10 ms How high does it go?

The ball goes up 5.1 meters.


What is the difference between fetch and catch?

Fetch means "go and bring back." Catch means "grab ball when thrown."


Why would a small boy and a big ball not go same distance if thrown by the same force?

Because they are different weights.


Does the baseball go faster towards homeplate or when it is hit back into the field of play?

here is an example of mass and velocity. The mass of the ball does not change, thrown by a pitcher, the ball can never go the distance that a well hit ball can, to, it has to be the upsurge in speed by being hit.
