A ball is rolling down a curved slide.  Which is the correct path after it rolls past the end of the slide several meters above a lake?

    

The Correct Answer is D.  At the end of the slide, the ball is moving down at an angle.  When it leaves the slide, the only acceleration is downward while it retains the initial velocity in the horizontal direction. 

Because of these factors, its path is curved downward from its initial velocity.
