Simply put, the answer is: Because there's nothing to stop it.

Any time you come anywhere near Newton's laws of motion, you're continually

bumping into the idea that an object continues in constant uniform motion, with

constant speed and in a straight line, until it's acted on by an external force.

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.


What will happen if you throw a ball straight into the air?

The ball will go up, reach its maximum height, then start to fall back down due to gravity. It will eventually land back on the ground.


Why does small ball go farther than big ball when you throw it?

A smaller ball can travel farther when thrown due to its lower air resistance compared to a larger ball. The smaller size allows it to cut through the air more easily, experiencing less drag and allowing it to maintain its velocity over a longer distance.


A ball thrown in the air will never go as far as physics ideally would predict because what?

The ideal physics prediction assumes no air resistance acting on the ball. In reality, air resistance slows the ball down, causing it to not travel as far as predicted by ideal physics. This is why the actual distance the ball travels may be shorter than what physics calculations suggest.


Why do you spin a football?

If your talking about NFL then We spin footballs to minimize the effect of air resistance on the ball. That makes it go further and follow a more straight path. Its got something to do with angular momentum

Why does a tennis ball go far if you throw it?

When you throw the tennis ball, it flies for a distance before dropping down because when you throw the tennis ball, you use force, which is transferred to the tennis ball, which then converts to kinetic energy (movement energy), to allow the tennis ball to go far.


Suppose you were able to throw a ball in outer space would it slow down as quickly in space as it does on Earth?

No. There is no atmosphere in outer space. So there would be less resistance to slow the ball down. Not so. There is no resistance in space, it is a vacuum. It would go on forever unless acted upon by an outside force, such as the gravitational pull of another object. Simple Newtonian physics.


What is underhand pitch?

you pull which ever hand you throw with, back. then, you bring your hand the opposite way you did to pull it back. then at one point, you let go of the ball.


What is scratch-throw?

The term "scratch-throw" is typically used in billiards or pool. It refers to a foul where the cue ball is pocketed or jumps off the table, resulting in a loss of turn for the player who committed the foul.
