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.

Does the size of a ball affect the velocity on which the ball goes?

A ball is thrown upward What can be said about the system?
The ball can be considered a closed system.
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.
Why is it easier to hit a home run off a fast pitch than a slow pitch?
There is more force exherted on the ball when you hit it if it goes faster. The slower the ball goes, the less force is applied so it doesnt go as far. Hope that helps, dude.
Which remains in the air longer a ball thrown upward or a ball thrown horizontally at the same speed?
Well, the ball thrown upward is obviously in the air longer before it hits the ground.It goes up for a while, before its upward speed drops to zero and it starts falling, soit effectively begins its drop from a higher altitude than a ball that you drop fromyour hand or throw horizontally.I think what you're really wanting to ask is: Which hits the ground first ... a ball thrownhorizontally or a ball just dropped from your hand ? The answer to THAT one is: If youignore air resistance, then they both hit the ground at the same time.For that matter . . . if you ignore air resistance, then it doesn't even matter if one of themis a bowling ball and the other one is a ping pong ball or a feather. They still both hit theground at the same time !Weird, no ?
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

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.
