Sagot :

Answer:

Option C, Both the basketball's speed and direction would change

Explanation:

When two objects travelling with certain speed interact with each their internal forces changes and hence their motion changes simultaneously.

In general cases it is said that momentum is conserved. Momentum is nothing but just the product of mass and velocity.

As the motion of the football changes, then momentum also changes. Since mass is a constant value, it is the velocity of the football that changes.

Hence, both speed and direction of both the football changes.

Option C is correct
