<em>Note The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:</em>
<em>A cannonball has just been shot out of a cannon aimed 45∘ above the horizontal rightward direction. Drag forces cannot be neglected.</em>
<em>Draw the free-body diagram of the cannonball.</em>
Explanation:
Free-body diagrams are diagrams used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation.
In order to construct free-body diagrams, it is important to know the various types of forces acting on the object in that situation. Then, the direction in which each of the forces is acting is determined. Finally the given object is drawn using any given representation, usually a box, and the direction of action of the forces are represented using arrows.
In the given situation of a cannonball which has just been shot out of a cannon aimed 45∘ above the horizontal rightward direction., the forces acting on it are:
F = force exerted by the cannon acting in the direction of angle of projection
Fdrag = drag force. The drag force acts in a direction opposite to the force exerted by the cannon
Fw = weight of the cannonball acting in a downward direction
The free body diagram is as shown in the attachment below.

Answer:
(a). The speed is 115.28 m/s.
(b). The time is 94 min.
(c). The International Space Station travels 43202.400 km.
(d). Speed is scalar quantity.
Velocity is vector quantity.
Explanation:
Given that,
Top speed = 415 km/h
1 miles = 1609 m
(a). We need to calculate the speed in m/s
Using conversion of km/h to m/s
(b). We need to calculate the distance from London to Edinburgh in km
Using conversion for distance
Distance in meter,
We need to calculate the time
Using formula of time
Put the value into the formula
(c). Speed v' =7.66 km/s
v'=7660 m/s
In the time it takes the car to travel from London to Edinburgh,
We need to calculate the distance
Using formula of distance
Put the value into the formula
(d). Speed :
Speed is equal to the distance divided by time.
It is scalar quantity.
Velocity :
Velocity is equal to the displacement divided by time.
It is vector quantity.
Hence, (a). The speed is 115.28 m/s.
(b). The time is 94 min.
(c). The International Space Station travels 43202.400 km.
(d). Speed is scalar quantity.
Velocity is vector quantity.
