You can apply a momentary force to something in deep space and it accelerates up to a velocity after which it remains constant. However, I have never heard of a problem that says balls are thrown with constant velocity, because gravity makes the vertical component of velocity non-constant. Horizontal velocity is often treated as constant though by neglecting air resistance. | |
