The picture below shows a football player kicking a football. this is known as two dimensional motion. in which direction does the football move? a) vertical only (y) b) horizontal only (x) c) horizontal and vertical (x, y) d) horizontal, vertical, and side to side (x, y, and z)

You are true, Stokey.  The correct choice is (c).

If you think about it a little bit more, you'll realize that "side to side" is also a horizontal motion.  

Anyway, the question told us that we're only talking about 2 dimensions.  Well, the The measurements in the 2 dimensions are the x and the y .  If there were a z measurement, that would be the 3rd dimension.

answer: a. same unit

explanation:

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.
