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.
The acceleration of a ball at the top of its trajectory when thrown straight upward is equal to the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 downward. At the top of its trajectory, the ball momentarily comes to a stop before reversing direction and accelerating downward.
The ball thrown straight down from a bridge will experience an acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, this acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 and acts in the downward direction. The acceleration will cause the ball to increase in speed as it falls towards the ground.
The speed of a ball thrown upward upon striking the ground will be the same as the speed at which it was thrown, but in the opposite direction. The speed of a ball thrown downward upon striking the ground will be faster than the speed at which it was thrown due to the acceleration from gravity.
-- The only horizontal force on a thrown ball is the force of air resistance, so the horizontal acceleration is very small, and the horizontal speed stays almost constant. -- The vertical force on a thrown ball is the force of gravity, so the ball accelerates straight down at the acceleration of gravity. -- The result of unequal horizontal and vertical components of acceleration is a curved path.
The force of gravity acting on the ball causes it to follow a curved path when thrown. As the ball moves forward, gravity pulls it downward, causing it to curve towards the ground. Other factors like air resistance and the initial velocity of the throw can also affect the path of the ball.
Bad form. A skilfully thrown bowling ball travels on a curve.
The acceleration of a ball at the top of its trajectory when thrown straight upward is equal to the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 downward. At the top of its trajectory, the ball momentarily comes to a stop before reversing direction and accelerating downward.
A curveball is a type of pitch that is thrown with a certain hand movement causing it to make a downward dive, or curve, as it approaches the plate. It is used in baseball and softball.
The ball thrown straight down from a bridge will experience an acceleration due to gravity. On Earth, this acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 and acts in the downward direction. The acceleration will cause the ball to increase in speed as it falls towards the ground.
The straight ball.
The speed of a ball thrown upward upon striking the ground will be the same as the speed at which it was thrown, but in the opposite direction. The speed of a ball thrown downward upon striking the ground will be faster than the speed at which it was thrown due to the acceleration from gravity.
Yes, the curve ball curves. This is because of the way the ball is thrown, which is a kind of a spin/jerky fast motion.
The thrown ball will (usually) have the highest velocity as the acceleration (resultant of force) used to throw it exceeds that of the other two balls. The ball thrown upward will have a higher downward velocity than the dropped ball even though their accelerations (due to gravity) are the same, as it has more time to travel downward. Although, If the ball thrown upward is thrown high enough, it may even travel faster than the ball thrown downward if the downward throw's force is not enough to beat the ball's terminal velocity (quite a bit of height would be required though).
A fast ball is when the pitchers throws the ball straight at the strike zone, it doesn't curve (curve ball) or lower (slider), it goes straight ahead.
-- The only horizontal force on a thrown ball is the force of air resistance, so the horizontal acceleration is very small, and the horizontal speed stays almost constant. -- The vertical force on a thrown ball is the force of gravity, so the ball accelerates straight down at the acceleration of gravity. -- The result of unequal horizontal and vertical components of acceleration is a curved path.
That's because the ball is attracted by Earth's gravity.
The force of gravity acting on the ball causes it to follow a curved path when thrown. As the ball moves forward, gravity pulls it downward, causing it to curve towards the ground. Other factors like air resistance and the initial velocity of the throw can also affect the path of the ball.
