The mass of a sports ball does not affect how long it takes to hit the ground in a vacuum, as all objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass due to gravity. However, in the presence of air resistance, the shape and surface area of the ball, which can correlate with mass, may influence its descent. Lighter balls may be more susceptible to air resistance, potentially causing them to fall more slowly than heavier balls under certain conditions. Ultimately, the time it takes for a ball to hit the ground is primarily influenced by its initial height and the effects of gravity and air resistance.
If a ground ball takes a bad hop and the batter is thrown out at first, he is out. If a ground ball takes a bad hop and the official scorekeeper feels the fielder would have thrown out the batter if the bad hop had not occurred, an error is charged to that fielder. If a ground ball takes a bad hop and the official scorekeeper feels the runner would have been safe at first anyway, it will be scored as a base hit with no error.
The time it takes for a ball to fall is determined by gravity, which accelerates all objects at the same rate regardless of their mass or size. Therefore, the ball's diameter does not affect the time it takes to fall.
Because bullets are deadly!
Yes
yes it could,it depends on the size and mass of the ball
If you are talking about the speed at which you roll the ball along the table before it falls of, it will not affect the time it takes to reach the floorAlso, if you are starting your measuring of time from when you started the roll until it hits the ground or if you are starting the measurement from when it falls of the table until it hits the ground will make a difference.If you are just measuring the time it takes from when it left the table until it hits the floor, the speed of the roll will have no effect.
because if your in football you would need the numbers how far or kick the ball if in golf you need to kown how far to hit the ball
Yes, gravity affects a soccer ball when it falls. The force of gravity causes the ball to accelerate towards the ground at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2. This acceleration causes the ball to pick up speed as it falls.
a ball on the ground
The size of a ball does not directly affect the time it takes to fall in the absence of air resistance. In a vacuum, all objects would fall at the same rate regardless of size. This is known as the principle of acceleration due to gravity.
Air resistance, gravity, friction with the ground, and the impact force from a collision with another object are all forces that can affect the motion of a ball.
The most important effect of gravity in hockey is that it keeps the ball on or close to the ground. For that matter it also keeps the players on the ground.
