What are the forces acting on a shot put ball being thrown in mid-air?
We have found that force of gravity and air resistance. all play a role to a flying object. Force of gravity affects the object vertically while force of air resistance acts diagonally against the object. The shot put would travel in a parabolic shape. To get the furthest distance, the shot put must be thrown with the right force, direction, and angle. Scientist have calculated an estimate of 47 ft/s basic strength required to set a world record.
