d. follow a curved path Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer 1

b. travel horizontally

Answer 2

Gravity is the ONLY force on the ball. If gravity were not there,
there would be no forces at all acting on the ball.

You have learned that when no forces act on an object, the object
continues moving in a straight line at a constant speed.

Haven't you ?
