it changes its course of flight because of the aerodynamics plus the force of the wind makes it so that it will slightly change its path of force like newton's first law of motion states a object will remain moving until a force has acted upon it that force is wind making it change its course of flight.

Does wind affect the motion of a football that is thrown?

Here is how rain affects a quarterback's throw: *Rain makes the ball wet and heavier which will shorten the distance it travels, as well as the trajectory.. *Rain makes it harder to grip the ball, affecting the quarterback's ability to impart spin and force to it. *Rain hitting the ball will shorten the distance it travels, as well as the trajectory. *A wet uniform, as well as being cold, can affect the quarterback's ability to throw. *Rain can also affect vision, making the target harder to determine. *Mud and wet fields make footing less sure and can affect the force the quarterback imparts to the football.

How do you throw a tennis ball long range?

The most effective pass is the torpedo pass. Normally from the scrum half (as its their best weapon ) to the outside half from a scrum or set piece. The ball is held in both hands with the points of the ball in line with the direction to be thrown. The throw is made across the body of the ball carrier (left to right or right to left) with the most dominant hand being at the rear of the ball. As the ball leaves the hand in a torpedo action the player will spin the ball on this axis. This is reported to cut down on wind resistance and allow the ball to travel further One of the best practitioner of this was Gareth Edwards former Wales Scrum half

Would a table tennis ball reach a terminal speed on the moon?

It would be the same speed as it would be on a very still day on earth without any wind. Wind creates resistance which sends the ball in different directions on serves and returns. On the moon, since there is no atmosphere there is no wind and the ball would go where ever you hit it without any effect from resistance. So trying to get a good serve in will be hard since the ball won't be as tricky to hit back.
