A ball thrown parallel to the ground moves downward toward the surface of the Earth because of the force of gravity.
The downward motion of anything is caused by a natural force of gravity. Your weight is not really what matters in terms of gravity. It is your mass, as is the ball's mass. The more stuff (I honestly do not know what a ball is made of) packed inside of a ball there is, the more mass it's going to have, and therefore it will have a sharper downward motion.
Gravity pulls the projectile downwards. Assuming for simplicity that air resistance is insignificant, the horizontal speed remains constant, while vertically, the projectile accelerates downwards.
The projectile travels horizontally at a constant speed (v) over a horizontal distance (s) with time (t) such that s = vt. But the projectile travels downward at a varying speed because of gravity acceleration (g)) over a vertical distance (s) with time (t) such that s = 1/2gt^2 ( time squared). Because of the square term it travels in a parabola shape, curved downward
It is the gravitational force of the earth which attracts the ball towards the centre of the earth.
It is because it undergoes constant downward acceleration due to the force of gravity, while travelling horizontally.
That depends on its trajectory, or whether it is actually thrown downward. Please be more specific.
It comes back downward! :) enjoi!
Gravity is the force which makes a thrown ball fall back to the ground. It is the force which attracts all objects to the Earth.
A ball that isn't being held up by anything will accelerate vertically because of the influence of gravity. It's rate of acceleration will be 9.78 meters per second2, directed downward, meaning that each second, its speed in the downward direction will be 9.78 meters per second faster than it was 1 second earlier. When this particular ball is released, its downward speed is negative 36 meters per second. How many times (seconds) does gravity need to increase its downward speed by 9.78 m/s in order to increase its downward speed to zero ? (36 / 9.78) = 3.681 seconds (rounded). That's when the negative downward speed has increased to zero, and becomes a positive downward speed. So it's also the peak of the toss.
They will both have the same speed because the will hit the ground at the same time, due to vertical velocity.
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).
That depends on its trajectory, or whether it is actually thrown downward. Please be more specific.

a golf ball because it is has a higher weight to cross sectional area ratio. ( weight to drag ) The inverse of this is why a bean will fall faster than a feather of the same weight. Also a golf ball has divots that allow it to fly thru the air faster
Ground rule double
10 m/s

A ground ball is when a player picks the ball up from the ground. The ball is often dropped and ground ball pickups are a vital skill to have. A ball thrown and intercepted by the opposing team is also considered a ground ball for the person intercepting the pass.
