Answer:9.75 m/s
Explanation:
Given
Length of ladder 
Foot the ladder is moving away with speed of 
From diagram

Now differentiating equation 1 w.r.t time




negative indicates distance is decreasing with time
B. The Earth radiates an amount of energy into space equal to the amount it receives.
Part of the solar energy is reflected by the Earth into space, this is known as albedo. The other part of the energy radiated by the Earth in the form of infrared radiation, is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, which cause most of this infrared radiation to be emitted into space. Therefore, the net flow of energy is zero.
Since the y axis stayed consistent, we can assume it did not move at all.
(So your answer would be A)
To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the description of the movement through the kinematic trajectory equations, which include displacement, velocity and acceleration.
The trajectory equation from the motion kinematic equations is given by

Where,
a = acceleration
t = time
= Initial velocity
= initial position
In addition to this we know that speed, speed is the change of position in relation to time. So

x = Displacement
t = time
With the data we have we can find the time as well




With the equation of motion and considering that we have no initial position, that the initial velocity is also zero then and that the acceleration is gravity,





Therefore the vertical distance that the ball drops as it moves from the pitcher to the catcher is 1.46m.
