Frequently, attention in an equilibrium situation is confined to a plane. an example would be a ladder leaning against a wall, which is in danger of slipping only in the plane perpendicular to the ground and wall. by orienting a cartesian coordinate system so that the x and y axes are in this plane, choose which of the following sets of quantities must be zero to maintain static equilibrium in this plane.

c. magnitude and direction

i think its c if i'm wrong

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.
