select the correct image. which diagram correctly demonstrates the various forces acting on a ball that has overcome friction moving horizontally with some speed?

select the correct image. which diagram correctly demonstrates the various forces acting on a ball that has overcome friction moving horizontally with some speed?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify vertical forces

Gravity acts down - ward on the ball and the normal force from the surface acts upward. These two forces balance each other in the vertical direction for a ball on a flat surface.

Step2: Identify horizontal forces

Since the ball has overcome friction and is moving horizontally with some speed, there must be a net horizontal force acting in the direction of motion. There should be a force arrow pointing in the direction of the ball's movement and no opposing frictional force (as it has been overcome).

Answer:

The diagram with a downward - pointing arrow for gravity, an upward - pointing arrow for the normal force, and a single horizontal arrow in the direction of the ball's movement.
