Question 1074060
There are three forces acting on the baseball in flight, they are weight, drag and lift.
:
The motion of the baseball through the air depends on the relative strength and direction of these forces.  These forces change during flight so the path is not a perfect parabola.  Stated another way,
:
As the baseball travels through the air - gravitational force, air resistance and lift play a role in the flight trajectory of the baseball.
