Given data:

* The ball is moving in the upward direction.

* The ball is also moving along the rightward direction.

Solution:

The direction of the ball towards the righward is due to the applied force on the ball.

But as the ball is moving in the upward direction, thus, the gravitational force is also acting on the ball.

As the air resistance is also included, thus, baseball will experience resistance by the air drag.

Hence, the forces acting on the ball are gravity, applied, and air resistance.
