Abasketball player makes a jump shot. the 0.600-kg ball is released at a height of 2.09 m above the floor with a speed of 7.52 m/s. the ball goes through the net 3.10 m above the floor at a speed of 4.07 m/s. what is the work done on the ball by air resistance, a nonconservative force?

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.
