Question illustration
A
The speed increases from W to X because a component of the gravitational force acts in the direction opposite to the velocity.
B
The speed increases from W to X because a component of the gravitational force acts in the direction of the velocity.
C
The speed increases from X to W because a component of the gravitational force acts in the direction opposite to the velocity.
