The start is wierd. You seem to have the ball going quite slow, but it hardly dips. Looks wierd.
i did this.( just the start matters )

See how the ball dips, but is still going quite fast.
Balls almost have no friction in the air, so the ball carrys on the same speed (without being totally precise because of the tiny friction) horizontally. But gravity pulls the ball closer to the ground, and it goes faster as it gets closer to the ground. Basically just as you would ease something. So the path of the ball would be a curve. But, there is a thing (forgot its name) that when something is falling, it will reach a top speed, because the forces are equal (gravity and friction) therefore the ball cannot speed up anymore, and will carry on at a constant speed.
So yeah, keep this in mind when creating a physics test, or making another animation.
