A person is twirling a ball on a string in a vertical circle at a constant

velocity of 6.0 m/s. The person lets go of the string at Point P.
(a) When the ball is let go at Point P, what motion does it travel?
(b) How much time does it take to hit the ground once it is let go?
(c) Where is the ball accelerating once it is let go?
(d) What horizontal distance does the ball travel from Point P?
