Why does a baseball continue to move after a pitcher lets go of it and stops applying force? Why would the ball eventually hit the ground?

The baseball still moves because the force against it is weaker than the force of the ball. The ball will eventually hit the ground once the force acting against it slows it down and stops it. Also the ball could stop if it hits something and that force would stop it immediately. This is why a baseball keeps moving after a pitch and then eventually falls to the ground.

No the ball would eventually stop and hit the ground. Because gravity and force would slow it down and eventually hit the ground. Also you would have to put enough force in the throw for it to actually travel.

Because the throw and inerwould make it keep going. And then gravity would pull it to the ground then it would stop.

Gravity would eventually take its toll and the saying "What comes up must come down" will take place

Gravity would force the ball down

Baseball is thrown to the bat and the bat launches it into the air with the baseball eventually hitting the ground because the force slows down

The ball keeps on going because of the inertia, but soon will stop because of Earths gravity. It also might stop if it hits something.

Once it leaves the pitchers hand gravity will start pulling down on it. Then finally it will hit the ground.

The baseball continues to move because of inertia. Inertia is when an object resist to stop. Though, it will eventually stop because the force of Earth's gravity is acting upon it. So, though the inertia keeps the ball soaring through the air, gravity will eventually pull it down towards the ground.

Once the ball leaves your hand the ball would eventually stop when it hits the ground.

The ball would eventually stop. The force would pull the ball down. The ball would hit the ground because the force would be to strong for it to keep on moving. The ball would go as far as it could until the force got to strong for the gravity to push it any farther.

The ball continues because of inertia. Or the tendency to resist a change in motion.It will eventually hit the ground because of gravity. Gravity from Earth would pull the ball towards Earth.

Because when he throws it he/she puts enough force into the throw. The air isnt strong enough to stop the ball. It would eventually hit the ground because the ball would eventually have no force left in it causing it to go down. Instead of keep on going because the ball doesn't have any more force to make it keep going

The ball keeps moving because of the force of the throw. However the ball would eventually stop and fall to the ground. The would stop because the force of gravity would cause the ball to stop.

Because of the gravity and inersu and by the forors behind the pitchers hand with how hard he throws the baseball .

Inertia will keep the baseball moving. Without the force of the throw of the ball, the baseball wouldn't go anywhere. As long as something doesn't stop the ball, it will keep moving. Since Gravity is a force, gravity will pull the baseball down to the ground. As the old saying goes, "What goes up must come down!"

The ball still moves because of the force is weaker than the force of the ball. The ball will soon enough hit the ground when the force against the ball slows it down or maybe even stops it. The ball may also stop if it hits something. This is why when the pitcher throws the ball it keeps moving until t hits the ground, or it hits something....

The baseball continues to move because of the force of the throw. This keeps the ball moving. The ball would eventually stop because of the force of gravity would pull it down. So even though the force of the ball keeps the ball going the force of gravity will soon over take the amount of it that is left pulling ball down and eventually stopping the ball.

The ball would drop because the force would pull the ball down. The
reason why the ball would down to the ground is because the force would be so strong that the ball would fall to the ground. Inertia would try to keep the ball going but the force is to strong.
