It accelerates in the y component (bc of gravity) AND the x-component (b/c of the friction force).
By
vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities).
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by

where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by

where

is its direction with respect to the x-axis.
Answer:
The ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must first start by doing a drawing that will represent the situation. (See picture attached).
We can see in the picture that the least the angle the farther the ball will go. So we need to find the A and B position to determine how farther the second shot would go. Let's start with point A.
So, first we need to determine the components of the velocity of the ball, like this:






we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.317s for the ball to hit on point A.
so now we can find the distance from the net to point A with this time. We can find it like this:



Once we found the distance between the net and point A, we can similarly find the distance between the net and point B:







t= -0.9159s or t=0.468s
we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.468s for the ball to hit on point B.
so now we can find the distance from the net to point B with this time. We can find it like this:



So once we got the two distances we can now find the difference between them:

so the ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.
The question is incomplete but still I answer to assume your thinking.
The picture is attached below!.
Here,
F is the force with which you pull up the incline.
N is the normal force.
w is the weight acting downward.
Axis are mentioned in the attached picture.
Concept:You can see there is no movement of object in the y-direction that means acceleration is zero in y-direction, sum of all the forces in y-direction equal to zero.
According to newton second law,
<span>∑ F = ma
</span>As, acceleration is zero in y-direction, so right hand side is zero in the above equation.
<span>∑ F = 0</span>
N-wcosθ=0
N= m*g*cos25°
N= m*(9.8)*(0.9063)
N= 8.8817*mBy putting the value of mass(m)(not given in the question) you will get the answer.
Hopefully, this is the answer of your question.
