Does a curve ball really curve?
Yes, the curve ball curves. This is because of the way the ball is thrown, which is a kind of a spin/jerky fast motion.
Why does a ball that is thrown straight curve downward?
A ball thrown straight will curve downward due to the pull of gravity acting on it. As the ball moves forward, gravity exerts a downward force on it, causing it to follow a curved path towards the ground. This downward curve is influenced by factors such as air resistance and the initial velocity and angle at which the ball was thrown.
Why do baseballs curve?
Baseballs curve due to the pitch that is thrown. There are many different pitches that can be thrown to make the ball curve, such as the curveball, slider, gyro and many more. Each pitch has a different grip and a different way to throw the ball. You need to use your wrist to whip the ball and cause the curvature.
What is the property that keeps a bowling ball go straight?
Bad form. A skilfully thrown bowling ball travels on a curve.
How do you throw a slider baseball?
A slider is thrown like a curve ball just much faster.
Does a baseball curve better at the top of a high mountain or down on a flat plain and explain?
A baseball will curve better down on a flat plain (at lower elevation above sea level). This is because the curving is caused by the ball contacting the air and pushing the ball in a particular direction. A ball's particular spin, speed, how the ball's stitches meet the air, etc will determine specifically how it will change direction when the air pushes against it. Imagine a baseball thrown in a vacuum where there is no air. The ball would not curve at all because there is no air to push on it. The ball would continue on a straight path, influenced only by gravity pulling it downwards. On a mountaintop, there is less air in a given volume of space than there is on a flat plain (at a lower elevation). Therefore, there will be less air to push on a thrown baseball when it is thrown on a mountaintop. Since there is less air to push on it, it will curve less well when thrown on the mountaintop. So it will curve better when thrown down on a flat plain.
What causes a baseball batter to recognize that a curve ball is being thrown to home plate?
A seasoned batter can normally spot a curve ball being pitched by the ball's early arc. It is also seen early in its path to the plate by its spin combined by the delivery motion of the pitcher.
What is the difference between a breaking ball and a curve ball?
A curveball falls under the general category of "breaking ball". A "breaking ball" refers to any pitch that is thrown with movement (i.e. a curveball, slider, sinker, etc.").
In witch sport use curve ball?
A curveball is a type of pitch that is thrown with a certain hand movement causing it to make a downward dive, or curve, as it approaches the plate. It is used in baseball and softball.
Can a keeper pick up the ball if its thrown in?
If the ball was thrown-in by a teammate, no. If the ball was thrown-in by an opponent, yes.
Why throwing a ball always put down in curve not in straight?
-- The only horizontal force on a thrown ball is the force of air resistance, so the horizontal acceleration is very small, and the horizontal speed stays almost constant. -- The vertical force on a thrown ball is the force of gravity, so the ball accelerates straight down at the acceleration of gravity. -- The result of unequal horizontal and vertical components of acceleration is a curved path.
How are curve-balls thrown?
"Choke" the ball (wedge it down between your thumb and forefinger), and tilt your wrist to the left; the ball snaps down and to the right on release. The resulting pitch should drop and curve to the left. Experiment with different speeds and spins. The best method of a curve ball is to learn to throw it curved upward. Instant strike every time, guaranteed.
