Distance traveled by the ball is given by

here we know that
speed = 20 m/s
times = 0.25 s
now we have


so ball will travel 5 m distance in the given interval of time
Resultant force is basically the force left after everything is added.
if a ball is being pushed one one side with 180N, and being pushed on teh opposite side with 84N (I added friction and air resistance since they're acting on the same side), then the resultant force would be:
180N - 84N =<u> 96N</u> (you can determine whether it's positive or negative based on the direction of the vector)
Answer:
The potential energy increases and the kinetic energy decreases
