What would happen to a ball if you threw it in deep space where there were no forces acting on it?

If you are throwing the ball at ‘space’ space, I.e, outer space, then it will suffer infenitisemally small resistive force. Since no force is experienced, it would continue in the velocity with which it left your hand(Newton’s first law).

Can you be perfectly still in space?

There is no ‘still’ that is not relative to some other object. So yes, you can be still with respect to one object, but you’ll be moving with respect to every other object.

Do objects stop moving in space?

In outer space, there is no air or atmosphere to offer such a resistance to the object in motion, and the earth’s gravitational pull is too weak to overcome the forward motion of the object, and so the object will keep moving in free space continuously without any effort.

Can you throw a ball into space?

Actually, a strong force of gravity, about 90 percent of the gravity on Earth, is placed on the ISS. If you throw a ball on Earth, it will fly for a little bit, and then fall to the ground. If you throw the ball faster, it will fly a little bit further.

What would happen if you punch at the speed of light?

It travels at a steady rate of 186,282 miles (299,792 kilometers) per second. Even if it were physically possible to propel ourselves to such speeds (spoiler alert: it isn’t), as you gain the necessary momentum to match the speed of light, your mass would become infinite.

What would happen if a drop of water hit Earth at light speed?

Nothing will happen because the object won’t collide with the Earth.

Is anything in space not moving?

Yes – every inertial (non-accelerating) object is not moving in its own frame of reference.

How far does a golf ball travel in baseball?

If hit by a Major League Baseball player, a golf ball can travel 500 yards easily. 75 feet in the air and can cover about 450 feet if thrown at 90 mph. It all depends on the speed of the hit that variates the speed of the ball. It is very easy to figure out the distance traveled by a golf ball when hit by a baseball bat.

Could you hit a golf ball hard enough to leave the Moon?

Could somebody theoretically hit a ball hard enough to make it leave the moon altogether?” Many people know that Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepherd hit a golf ball on the moon. In so doing, he became the first person to ever play golf on another world.

Why do golf clubs hit the ball farther?

A golf club’s shaft flexes and as it uncoils approaching impact, it significantly increases the speed at which the club hits the ball, so a driver will always hit a golf ball farther than a baseball bat.

How far did the ball travel when it was hit?

Physicists have estimated the ball’s traveling distance based on their knowledge of the environment and by making assumptions about the force Shepherd applied to the ball on impact and the angle with which he struck it. They estimate it might have landed between two and two and a half miles from the impact point.
