The ball follows a parabolic path when thrown. In a vacuum (with no air or other forces acting upon it) the gravitational pull of the earth causes the ball to accelerate toward the earth (9.8m/sec

If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball what would happen to the ball?
travel horizontally
If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontall thrown ball the ball would?
If air resistance is taken into account, the ball would continue moving in a horizontal direction, slowing as it went and then stop - suspended in mid air. If there were no air resistance, the ball would continue to move in a straight line for ever. However, the surface of the earth would curve downwards (because it is a sphere) and so, relative to the earth, the ball would fly off at a tangent into space. Of course, all this begs the question as to why the person who threw the ball did not fly off onto space long before throwing the ball!
Did human evolution follow a straight line path from one species to the next?
No, human evolution followe a path with many branches.
Can a body thrown horizontally from top of building travel in straight path?
It will travel in a straight line as far as the x and z axises are concerned however in the Y axis the bodies path will be a inverted parabolic.
What rotation mean?
rotation is a type of motion in this all the components follow a circular path
What path does a rock thrown horozontally from a building follow?
The rock follows a parabolic path.
What causes a thrown baseball to follow a cured path?
speed and spin
What causes a thrown object to follow a curved path?
Centripetal Force
What do you do at ecruteak gym?
Follow the invisible path it is in the shape of an S.
If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball what would happen to the ball?
travel horizontally
Discuss why a cricket ball does not follow a parabolic path?
A cricket ball moves simultaneously in two motions which are rotary and linear. The velocity of the air below the ball is decreased because these two motions are opposing each other. Thus, the pressure on the upper side of the ball is lesser and there is an upward force that works upon the ball. This makes the ball follow a curved path and not a parabolic one.
If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would what?
The ball would continue straight without any gravitational forces acting on it, and without air resistance. If you consider air resistance, then the spin of the ball may give it a curved path, and eventually the ball would stop traveling as the air resistance slows down the ball.
When you throw an object which has an L shape an irregular shape what part of the object will follow the projectile motion for the entire trip?
The center of mass 8center of gravity) will follow a (parabolic) flight path.
Real life examples where quadratic equations are used?
Calculating the path of an object when acted on by a continual force (like a ball thrown where there is gravity)
When the ball at the end of the string swings to it's lowest point the string is cut How will the ball's path be like?
At the bottom of the swing the ball is at highest velocity. The ball will follow a parabolic path starting at the vertex and traveling horizontally, then falling off quickly until it hits the ground.
Projectile following a parabolic path on a circle?
A projectile doesn't follow a circular path. It follows a parabolic path. No part of a circle has the same shape as any part of a parabola. They're different curves.
What curved path an object follows when thrown?
Actually, if you were to ask a Gunners Mate in the Navy, he'd tell you that the curved path of an object thrown is called a trajectory. And in a practical case, trajectories are not parabolic when traveled in a gas, like our atmosphere. They are parabolic if and only if the objects are not also acted on by drag and angular momentum forces. And any good curve ball pitcher in baseball can prove that.
