I believe the correct answer is atmosphere (D).
The answer would be Newton’s Second Law
They are almost the same temperature!!
mass of the ball m = 0.63 kg
initial height h = 1.8 m
final height h ' = 3.03 m
initial speed v = 7.09 m / s
final speed v ' = 4.21 m / s
Let the work done on the ball by air resistance W = ?
we know from law of conservation of energy ,
total energy at height h + work done by air = total energy at height h '
mgh + ( 1/ 2) mv^ 2 + W = mgh ' + ( 1/ 2) mv'^ 2
0.630*9.8*1.8 + 0.63*7.09^2 + W = mgh ' + ( 1/ 2) mv'^ 2
From there you can find W
if there is negative sign indicates it work opposite direction to motion
