Explanation: We can think of a force as a push on a surface, such as the force due to gravity you exert when standing on a bathroom scale. Pressure involves the distribution of force. The scale measures force, not pressure, so your weight reading is the same no matter how you distribute your weight on the scale.
The horizontal component of the velocity of the ball is calculated by multiplying the speed by the cosine of the given angle. x-component of speed = (31 m/s)(cos 35°) = 25.39 m/s Thus, the horizontal velocity component of the ball is 25.39 m/s.
