Indirectly. There are many variables to throwing a ball. The size, for instance, can effect the efficiency of your hand, how well you can grasp it. However, it can also increase the wind-resistance if the size:weight ratio is high or low. This leads to the example of a 2-pound ball the size of a Baseball or an extreme of a 2-pound beach ball inflated. You notice that you can throw the baseball at a good speed. However, if you use the same force on the beach ball, then you'll notice it goes slower. The wind-resistance is key to size.

Will your grip affect how the ball goes?

Yes, your grip on the ball can affect how it is released and ultimately the trajectory and spin of the ball when thrown. Different grips can result in different outcomes such as speed, accuracy, and spin. Experimenting with different grips can help improve your throwing technique.


What is the main type of energy conversion that happens to a ball thrown in the air as it goes up?

The main type of energy conversion that happens to a ball thrown in the air as it goes up is from kinetic energy (energy of motion) to potential energy (stored energy due to position). As the ball moves upwards against the force of gravity, its kinetic energy decreases while its potential energy increases.


What force does Earth exerts on a ball thrown into the air?

The force exerted by Earth on a ball thrown into the air is the force of gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. As the ball goes up, gravity acts to bring it back down towards the Earth's surface.


Why does the speed of the ball thrown up decrease?

The speed of a ball thrown up decreases because of gravity acting against the initial velocity. As the ball goes up, gravity pulls it back down, causing its speed to decrease until it reaches its peak height and momentarily stops before falling back down.


If a ball is thrown in the air what Speed that a ball hits the ground?

The answer depends on how high the ball is thrown and at what angle. If the ball is thrown on Earth, Earth's gravity has objects fall at an increasing rate of 32 feet per second per second. This means that an object will go 32 feet per second faster every second it is falling down in the air. So, the higher the ball is in the air, the faster it goes as it is about to hit the ground.

Describe contact force and noncontact force that affect the motion of a baseball a pitcher has thrown the ball?

The contact force will keep the ball moving but as the ball goes farther the ball slows down that's were the non contact force comes in it makes the ball not in contact

Can he advance after he is hit by a thrown ball if it goes out of bounds?

NO... anyball landing foul is a foul ball and is a dead ball ...Clarification:the way i read this question is "if a thrown ball hits a runner and goes out of play can the runner advance?" -- If this is the question you are asking, then, yes, a runner can advance on a thrown ball that goes out of play. Runner will be allowed to advance 1 base after the ball goes out of play. The only time this wouldn't be the case is if the runner was running to 1st and the ball hits him and it is deemed interference, he would then be called out.The question is a bit unclear, so it really depends on what you are asking

Why does bowling ball goes faster than basketball?

Rolled? Thrown? How heavy of a bowling ball? And the speed of a ball depends on how hard a person throws it. It is hard to answer such a general question.
