b. The ball’s horizontal speed midway through its flight

c. The ball’s horizontal speed immediately before contact with the ground

d. The ball’s vertical speed at the apex of the flight

e. The ball’s vertical speed midway through its flight

f. The ball’s vertical speed immediately before contact with the ground
