19. A stone dropped from a cliff hits the ground 3.5 seconds later. A second rock is thrown horizontally from the same cliff and lands 24.5 meters from the base.
a. Find the height of the cliff
b. Find the initial velocity of the thrown rock

fgravity=10x10=100n case 1

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.

answer: the correct answer for the fill in the blank is rods.

rods are the specialized photoreceptor cells that are present in the retina of human eye. they are responsible for vision in the night time ( also called scotopic vision). they have very low visual acuity and color distinguishing ability.

as they are responsible for vision in night time, therefore they are found predominantly in the nocturnal animals.
