Answer:
A) reduced air pressure on the ball.
Explanation:
First, you find the velocity at each component. The general equation is:
a = (v2 - v1)/t
a,x = (v2,x - v1,x)/t
-0.105 = (v2,x - 8.57)/6.67
v2,x = 7.87 m/s
a,y = (v2,y - v1,y)/t
0.101 = (v2,y - -2.61)/6.67
v2,y = -1.94 m/s
To find the final speed, find the resultant velocity by taking the hypotenuse.
v^2 = (v2,x)^2 + (v2,y)^2
v^2 = (7.87)^2 + (-1.94)^2
v = 8.1 m/s
