Question

Which diagram correctly demonstrates the various forces acting on a ball moving horizontally with some speed?​

Answer 1

I think it i either the 1st one with all the arrows pointing to the ball because it has some speed so it is going fast horizontally 2) the ball has to stay on the ground so that's where the gravitational pull comes in (the arrow pointing down and pointing up). 3) when the ball is moving horizontally the air which is pushing the ball from the left pushes it back a little hence slowing it a little.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is my guess anyways, feel free to choose this answer my second opinon was the second one which is the one with the arrow pointing down and arrow pointing right and left ( the one which says movement of the ball )

Answer 2

Option A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we know that ball is moving horizontally so the force on the ball perpendicular to the plane must be balanced

We can say that gravitational force "mg" is balanced by the normal force due to ground. Which shows that two equal and opposite arrows must be there on ball in vertical direction.

Now in horizontal direction there may be unbalanced force in two directions.

One of the force may be due to air drag and friction on the ground. While other force is due to some external agent.

So here correct answer is represented by first figure or we can say it is given by

Option A)
