What can be said about the speed of the ball at this instance?
O The speed is decreasing (ball is slowing down)
O The situation shown in the figure is impossible because the acceleration must be perpendicular to the velocity in any circular motion
O The speed is increasing (ball is speeding up)
O The speed remains constant, because the ball is moving along a circular trajectory
