Raha is goalie for her soccer team. Her coach has been working
with her on how to deflect a shot to the goal so it will go farther
down the field and away from her goal. The coach has studied a lot
of data and has drawn a diagram showing the angle at which most
shots approach the goalie. The coach is experimenting with Raha
on the correct angle to deflect a shot so it goes away from the
person who kicked the ball. In the experiment on deflecting the
shot, what is the element that Raha can control?
A) the mass of the ball being shot
B) the speed of the shot moving toward her
C) the direction of the ball coming toward her
D) the direction of the force applied to blocking
the shot
