The answer is c. the force of his swing

At the time of the impact, there is a collision between two bodies moving in opposite directions. 

The force exerted on the ball causes the change of velocity.

Answer: The force of his swing

Explanation: When Julio hit the baseball, the ball changed the direction after the impact. The contact force exerted by the bat on the baseball when it swing caused the change in direction of the ball. The force exerted  in time t is causes change in momentum.

the force of gravity acts on the ball all the time. The speed of the ball is not a factor to change direction. The weight of the air exerts a drag on the ball which is also constant. Hence, only the force of swing caused the changed in the direction of the ball.

mezya [45]
We actually don't need to know how far he/she is standing from the net, as we know that the ball reaches its maximum height (vertex) at the net. At the vertex, it's vertical velocity is 0, since it has stopped moving up and is about to come back down, and its displacement is 0.33m. So we use v² = u² + 2as (neat trick I discovered just then for typing the squared sign: hold down alt and type 0178 on ur numpad wtih numlock on!!!) ANYWAY....... We apply v² = u² + 2as in the y direction only. Ignore x direction. 
IN Y DIRECTION: v² = u² + 2as 0 = u² - 2gh u = √(2gh) (Sub in values at the very end) 
So that will be the velocity in the y direction only. But we're given the angle at which the ball is hit (3° to the horizontal). So to find the velocity (sum of the velocity in x and y direction on impact) we can use: sin 3° = opposite/hypotenuse = (velocity in y direction only) / (velocity) So rearranging, velocity = (velocity in y direction only) / sin 3° = √(2gh)/sin 3° = (√(2 x 9.8 x 0.33)) / sin 3° = 49 m/s at 3° to the horizontal (2 sig figs)

If you're moving, then you have kinetic energy.

If you're not at the bottom yet, then you still have
some potential energy left.

kotykmax [81]
<h3>Question -:</h3>

The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun

exerts on the Earth:

O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.

O B. is very small because the sun is so far from the Earth.

O c. is smaller than the force the Earth exerts on the sun.

O D. pushes the Earth away from the sun.

<h3>Answer -:</h3>

O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.
