Cecelia dropped a ball from a height of 2 m. the ball fell in a straight path down to the ground. according to newton’s universal law of gravitation, which would change the path of the ball so it traces out the widest curved path possible?

tossing it horizontally at a faster speed

Explanation:

The property that objects have to fall when released from a certain height from the ground was well known since ancient times. For much of our history, the free-falling motion of objects was considered natural, ignoring the need for any causative agent. It was not until the seventeenth century that the English scientist Isaac Newton formulated a theory capable of explaining the cause of these movements and describing them precisely: the law of universal gravitation.

Under this law, free fall is a uniformly accelerated motion and causes any object influenced by the acceleration of gravity to move. This explains why the ball, dropped by Cecelia, fell in a straight path to the ground. According to this law, if Cecelia wanted the ball to travel the widest possible path during the fall, she should play the ball horizontally at a faster speed.

the answer is to check all of them! they all apply well at least i think so!
