What sport are you talking about ?
The ball isn't thrown at the start of a football game. The game begins with a kick off. After the kick off the only time a ball can be thrown by an out field player is if it goes off at the sideline and a team is awarded a throw-in.
When the ball is kicked out on the sideline (or Touchline), the procedure is the team who did not touch it last, gets to throw the ball in from the sidelines by drawing the ball behind their head with both hands and while both feet are planted on the ground and throw the ball back into play.
Gravity is the force which makes a thrown ball fall back to the ground. It is the force which attracts all objects to the Earth.
If the ball was thrown-in by a teammate, no. If the ball was thrown-in by an opponent, yes.
When a ball goes out of bounds at a sideline, the game stops, and the opposing team is awarded possession. The player taking the throw-in must re-establish the ball in play from the spot where it crossed the boundary line. This is typically done with a throw-in, where both feet must remain on the ground, and the ball is thrown with both hands over the head. The game resumes once the throw-in is executed.
Naturally the ball in space will travel the longest distance as long as it does not bump into something along the way. Gravity on earth will cause the ball thrown to fall back to earth.
Gravity is the force that gives a thrown ball its vertical movement. As the ball is thrown upwards, gravity acts on it, pulling it back down towards the ground. The vertical movement of the ball is a result of the interaction between the force of the throw and the force of gravity.
The maximum height hmax that a ball reaches when thrown into the air is the highest point it reaches before falling back down.
When a ball is thrown upward, it experiences a brief period of acceleration while moving against the force of gravity. Once the ball reaches its peak height, it begins to fall back down due to gravity.
the ball has gone out so it will be a sideline pass, to the other team. if you cant see clearly who it came off it will be a toss up.
The speed of the ball is greatest when it is thrown upward and decreases as it reaches the peak of its trajectory. The speed continues to decrease as the ball falls back down due to the force of gravity pulling it towards the ground.
The ball has gone "in touch" and the restart is a throw-in.
