What are the forces that act on the ball, along the horizontal direction, after it is thrown? (I suppose you can neglect any air-friction)shehri said:

C'mon...this is most probably a question from intro-physics/mechanics; air-friction can always be neglected.christianjb said:

The exact location where the ball will fall is determined by various factors such as the initial velocity, angle of projection, air resistance, and gravitational pull. It is impossible to predict the exact spot where the ball will fall without knowing all of these factors.
The trajectory of a falling ball can be calculated using the laws of motion and mathematical equations such as the projectile motion equation. This equation takes into account the initial velocity, angle of projection, and acceleration due to gravity to determine the path of the ball.
While we can make educated guesses and calculations about where the ball will fall, there are always external factors that can affect the trajectory. For example, wind or air resistance can alter the path of the ball, making it difficult to accurately predict the exact location.
The weight of the ball does not directly affect where it will fall. However, it can affect the initial velocity and angle of projection, which can ultimately impact the trajectory and final landing spot of the ball.
There are certain variables that can be controlled, such as the initial velocity and angle of projection, which can influence where the ball will fall. However, there are always external factors that cannot be controlled, making it difficult to have complete control over the final landing spot of the ball.
