What matters is where the ball is when any part of your body besides your foot or hand touch the ground. Or if you get caught and pushed back, it's the point of maximum forward progress, on the theory that the play ended when you started to be pushed backwards.
Not in the NFLNope. At least not in the NFL. If a ball carrier falls down on top of an opposing player and does not otherwise touch the ground, he is not considered down by contact and may continue to advance the ball.Some part of the ball carrier's body, other than his hands or feet, has to make contact with the ground for him to be considered down(Technically, a knee or elbow or helmet has to make contact with the turf for the carrier to be down).This is true for all levels of football play: HS, NCAA, NFL.
Depends on where and how it hits. Flak shells, the type used for antiaircraft fire, were commonly fused to explode at a given altitude, not on impact. The idea was to have the shell explode near the aircraft, then the shrapnel from the shell would spread out in all directions. If close enough to an airplane this would damage it, perhaps enough to bring it down. A direct hit could blow the wing off a plane. On the other hand, there are instances on record where the gunners set the fuses for the wrong altitude, causing flak shells to shoot right through an airplane without exploding. In such a case the airplane might well make it home safely, provided nothing else went wrong.
A cold front occurs when a cold air and a cold air mass hits each other and the warm air rises
Tthe bomb is detonated before it hits the gound covering a wider area of effect, thus leaving more destruction then it would if it hit the ground.

If the ball hits the line, it is considered in.
If a tennis ball hits the line, it is considered in.
The ball is placed where the ball actually is (assuming the player still has "possession") when the player is down by contact or when the knee hits the ground.
If a volleyball hits the line in volleyball, the ball is considered to be in (any part of the ball).
Yes, it is considered a scratch if the cue ball hits the 8 ball in a game of pool.
No it's not. If the ball, after a punt, crosses the line of scrimmage and hits ANY of the receiving team's players it's a live ball. So it's not considered a blocked punt.
In tennis, if the ball hits the line, it is considered in bounds and the point is still in play.
If the ball hits the line in volleyball, it is considered in bounds.
You situation has nothing to do with passed balls. You are talking about the "uncaught third strike". And no, as long as the ball does not hit the ground it is considered caught. If the batter traps the ball and he gets it before it hits the ground, he caught it. Bobbling the ball and catching it is an out.
When the football hits the side of the net, it's typically referred to as a "goalpost" or "crossbar" hit, depending on where it makes contact. If the ball goes into the net after hitting the side, it is considered a goal. If it hits the side and does not go in, it may simply be described as a miss or a near miss.
According to the referenced link (which is pretty interesting in general), "If a live ball hits the Sky Cam or any other non-football related thing, such as a bird in flight, the down will be replayed."
Yes. If any part of the ball hits any part of the line, it is considered in.
