When you throwa balland give it aforwardmotion, Gravity pulls the ball towards the
center of earth. The ball has two motions ... horizontal (forward) and a downward
motion. The horizontal speed is constant, or at least nearly constant, but the
downward speed is constantly growing because of the downward gravitational force
on the ball. A constant horizontal speed together with vertical acceleration is a sure
recipe for a curved path.

What sport do you use a wooden like curved thing to catch and throw a ball with?
Jai-Alai
How do you throw a tennis ball far?
Use your whole body (hips, legs, etc) to throw the ball as hard as you can at a 45 degree angle and remember to follow through.
Is it correct to say that satellites stay in orbit rather than falling to earth because they are beyond the pull of earths gravity?
No! They are in orbit because of earth's gravity. If they were beyond the pull of earth's gravity, they would fly off and never return. Everything that is in orbit around earth is falling towards earth. Their orbital velocity is great enough so that it compensates for the downward pull.When you throw a ball it falls in a curve. Throw it harder and the ball will fall farther away but will still fall along a curve. Throw it as hard as possible and it will still follow a curved path and eventually land. Gravity causes it to fall along a curve. Now imagine throwing a ball SO HARD that it returns to you from the opposite direction. Gravity has been pulling on it causing it to move along a curved path, but its velocity sends it around earth in an orbit.

In which event do you throw a curved ball?
It depends on the situation. You can throw a curve ball on the first pitch to get ahead but make sure you are hitting the corners and you don't make a habit of it because you will tip off hitters and they will set on the pitch. Also you can throw a curve ball when you are 0-2. If you have a good curve and a hard one you can attempt to throw it for a strike or if it's not that good you can throw it in the dirt and try to get the hitter to "fish" for it. If you throw it in the dirt and there is someone on base make sure you have a catcher who can lock it so there won't be a passed ball allowing the runner to advance to the next base.
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.
Why does the ball fall to ground?
Because space is extremely curved in proximity to the huge mass of the earth. Or because the force of gravity causes attraction between the ball and the Earth. It depends on which aspect of physics you are using.
How do you imagine part of one curved face is contained by another curved face?
Get a ball. Draw any closed shape on it. The part inside the curve that you drew is one curved face and that is contained by the surface of the ball which is the other curved face.
What is the tip in jaialai for tomorrow?
Jai Alai is a sport that is similar to racquet ball. It involves a hand held curved racquet like launcher that is sued to throw and catch the ball. This best way to get tips is to ask a person that plays the game.
Does a ball hace a curved surface?
Yes.
What is the difference between throw me the ball and throw the ball to me?
nothing they mean the same thing
What is the present tense of the word throw?
