What else can I help you with?
If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball what would happen to the ball?
travel horizontally
How can a ball be thrown that it reaches the longest distance across vertically horizontally angled?
if the bal is thrown by making 45 degree angles. with the ground..it will travel maximum distance...
A football is thrown horizontally off the top of an apartment house that is 78.4 meters high the ball is thrown at a speed of 15 ms how far will the ball travel before hitting the streets below?
"60" or "sixty"
A ball thrown horizontally from a cliff and hits the ground 4 seconds later 40 meters from the base of the cliff How high was the cliff?
If it was thrown horizontally, it had an initial velocity of 10 meters/sec parallel to the ground. (It traveled 40 meters in 4 secs with no acceleration. x=vt) It also took 4 secs to travel vertically. It started with a vertical velocity of 0 m/s. Using x=v0 + (1/2) a t2 a = -g ( Acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s2) x=0-(1/2)g*16 = -8 * 9.8 = -78.4 m It fell 78.4 meters before coming to a stop.
Why can't you travel in a straight line?
because the earth is round like a ball!
If gravity did not effect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would travel horizontally?
If gravity did not affect a horizontally thrown ball, it would travel in a straight line horizontally at a constant velocity. Gravity only acts vertically, causing the ball to fall towards the ground, so without this vertical force, the horizontal motion would remain unaffected.

travel horizontally
Is the following true or false an object that is dropped will hit the is ground before an object that is thrown horizontally from the same height?
True. Both objects, when released from the same height, will experience the same gravitational acceleration regardless of their horizontal motion. Therefore, the object that is dropped will hit the ground at the same time as the object thrown horizontally, assuming no air resistance. However, the dropped object will fall straight down, while the thrown object will travel horizontally as it falls.
Does different speed of two objects effect the time it takes to reach the ground?
If thrown horizontal from same height the faster object will travel farther horizontally, but time to fall is the same. If thrown straight up, the faster object will take longer to fall

If gravity did not affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would .?
It would travel in a straight line until air resistance brought it to a standstill. It would then hover at that point - in mid-air forever. If air resistance is also removed from the scenario an even stranger thing will happen. The ball will continue in a straight line forever. But, because of the curvature of the earth, the earth's surface will drop away so that the ball will actually fly off into space. One problem with this thought experiment is that the concept of a "straight" line depends on gravity.
Will a bullet travel the same distance straight up that it would horizontally?
No. The horizontal distance depends on how close the the ground the gun is. From the firing position, a bullet dropped to the ground will strike the ground in the same time as a bullet shot horizontally forward.
What helps to show light rays travel in straight lines?
To remember this think of you are looking directly at a building a car crash happens behind this building. You know this from the sound produced that can travel in all directions past the building. You cannot see it because as light dose not bend under normal circumstances and will only travel in straight lines. Even if reflected using a combination of mirrors it still travels in straight lines.
Will an object travel farther if launched from a higher elevation for example will I travel farther horizontally if I jump horizontally from a higher elevation versus ground level?
Yes, an object will travel farther horizontally if launched from a higher elevation due to having more initial potential energy which can be converted into kinetic energy. This is known as the principle of conservation of energy. So, jumping horizontally from a higher elevation will allow you to travel farther than if you were to jump from ground level.
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.
