The speed of the ball when it returns to the same horizontal level

8.0 m/s if there is no air resistance. (B)

Less if there IS any air resistance.

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
