Differences of ballistics and straight line motion?
Ballistics is just what it sounds like. A cannon ball was fired over and over and a statistical record was kept. Weight of the ball, powder used and cannon angle. The ball will have straight linear motion with gravity thrown in for fun. You can be traveling in a very straight forward motion, but be falling also. Newton had this all figured out.
Why can't you travel in a straight line?
because the earth is round like a ball!
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.
Do line segments have to be straight?
Yes. If it is not straight, then it is not a line.
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!
Why would a ball thrown in outer space continue to move in a straight line?
This is due to Newtons first law. Because their is no gravity the object will move in a straight line unless a outside force is applied to it. Such as the gravity of a near by planet/object.
What is an example of linear motions?
An apple dropping from a tree... think Isac Newton!Or a ball being thrown, or anything that moves forward in a straight line really
Why when you throw a ball it travels in an arc and not in a perfectly straight line?
After the ball has been thrown it begins to slow down, and gravity begins to take effect until the ball loses momentum and it stirkrs the ground and finally comes to a stop.
If a ball is rolling in a straight line and you push it to the right velocity Will?
If a ball is rolling in a straight line and you push it to the right velocity will accelerate.
If gravity did NOT affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would?
If the air is still, then the ball would move in a straight line, and come to a slow eventual stop due to friction with that air. If the air is moving, then the ball will slow down and eventually be moving around with the air, the amount of which would depend on the mass of the ball and the friction it has with the air. If it's in a perfect vacuum, then it will simply keep moving in a straight line at the speed that it was released at.
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.

If a ball is rolling in a straight line and you push it to the right it's velocity Will?
If a ball is rolling in a straight line and one pushes it to the right, it's velocity reduce.
In what direction cant the ball not be thrown in rugby?
Forward of the ball carrier In open play the ball may only be passed from the hand directly in alignment with the passing player to the receiver or behind the player passing the ball to the receiving player. In a line out the ball must travel down the centre of the gap between the two teams. If the ball is thrown more to the throwers own team the referee will blow his whistle and a penalty is awarded for not straight.
What does the Line of Scrimmage mean in football?
its sort of the invisible line where the quarterback throws the ball, and once the ball is thrown the QB cant run forward. :) I think
What does straight ball mean in field hockey?
'Straight' means to pass the ball directly forwards, in a line parallel to the sidelines, i.e. straight up the field.
If a football is thrown beyond the line of scrimmage what is i t?
...still a football. If it's not caught, its an incomplete pass. If its thrown and hits the ground behind the line of scrimmage, its a grounded ball, which is a penalty.
