While bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the top of the science building. determine the distance the bag has traveled after falling for 1.5 seconds assuming it has reach free fall and given the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/sec2. distance = velocity x time a) 7.4 m b) 11 m c) 15 m d) 22 m

Option B, 11 m is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion , , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this case u = 0 m/s , t = 1.5 seconds , a = acceleration due to gravity = , we need to find displacement

Substituting

So option B, 11 m is the correct answer.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
