An object is dropped from a vertical height of 1.89 m above the balcony level. What is the object’s speed when it is 2.20 m below the balcony level if 10.0% energy is lost due to the air resistance? Does it matter when to apply 10% loss before V calculations or after? Could somebody please explain why the answer is 8.49m/s and why it does matter?

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.
