According to the information and graph above, what unbalanced force is affecting the steel ball the most and how is it affecting the ball's motion?

  1. Friction with the track is the greatest unbalanced force, and it is causing the ball to slow down.

  2. Friction with the air is the greatest unbalanced force, and it is causing the ball to slow down

  3. Gravity is the greatest unbalanced force, and it is causing the ball to speed up.












3. Gravity is the greatest unbalanced force, and it is causing the ball to speed up.
