nothing much the points might change but it isn't very crucial
Then I would suggest stopping your swing and reset yourself. If the ball moves on its free will there is no penalty.
The speed of the ball decreases as it moves against gravity and eventually reaches 0 at its highest point before falling back down.
As the ball rolls away from you, it will appear to decrease in size and eventually disappear from view due to its distance. The speed at which it moves away will determine how quickly it disappears.
No, there is no penalty. What you do is replace the ball as close as possible to where it was before it was moved. If the animal runs away with the ball and you cannot get it you simply use another ball, but you must declare this to your playing partners.
When you bounce a ball, it compresses against the surface it hits, storing potential energy. As it then moves back up, that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, causing the ball to bounce back up. The height of the bounce is determined by the elasticity of the ball and the surface it hits.
The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves.
If you had adressed it and then backed away ( i.e. wind bothering you), then you have to play as if you had hit the ball that had moved, but if you haven't adressed it, you are to make an honest ruling and put it where it was
An Earthquake happens.
To address a ball in golf means to approach the ball, ready to swing.
A player cannot both have and not have the ball.
The ball's velocity decreases as it moves upward due to the opposing force of gravity. At the peak of its trajectory, the velocity momentarily becomes zero before the ball starts descending and its velocity increases back in the downward direction.
When a ball is thrown up in the air, its kinetic energy decreases as it moves against gravity due to its speed reducing. At the same time, its potential energy increases as it gains height and moves further away from the Earth's surface. As the ball reaches its highest point, its kinetic energy is at a minimum and potential energy is at a maximum.
