two students drop an object into sand from a height of 1.5 meters. they record the depth of the hole made in the sand by each students object what is the most likely explination
maddie. 1.8
naveed . 4.0
naveeds object had greater kinetic energy
maddies object had a faster drop speed
1 answer
Based on the information provided, it is most likely that Naveed's object had greater kinetic energy than Maddie's object. This is because Naveed's object made a deeper hole in the sand (4.0 meters) compared to Maddie's object (1.8 meters) despite being dropped from the same height of 1.5 meters. The greater depth of the hole indicates that Naveed's object had more energy and therefore impacted the sand with greater force.
