Answer:

A. horizontal velocity is constant at 25 m/s in every interval

B. downward velocity increases by 9.8 m/s each second, to 19.6 m/s, 29.4 m/s, 39.2 m/s, 49.0 m/s

Explanation:

A.

Since the ball is not rocket-powered, it has no acceleration in the horizontal direction. (We ignore slowing due to air friction.) The horizontal velocity remains constant at 25 m/s.

__

B.

The vertical acceleration is given as 9.8 m/s² in the downward direction. That is, each second the ball is in motion, its velocity downward increases by 9.8 m/s. The table can be filled with ...

t = 2 s, v = -19.6 m/s

t = 3 s, v = -29.4 m/s

t = 4 s, v = -39.2 m/s

t = 5 s, v = -49.0 m/s

__

The sign is negative because the direction is downward. Positive is up.
