I think:
In motion- 40
Not moving- 20
The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.
After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).
Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.
Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered <em>4.9 meters</em>.
ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.

Answer:</h3>
225 meters
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object in motion.
In our case we are given;
Acceleration, a = 2.0 m/s²
Time, t = 15 s
We are required to find the length of the slope;
Assuming the student started at rest, then the initial velocity, V₀ is Zero.
<h3>Step 1: Calculate the final velocity, Vf</h3>
Using the equation of linear motion;
Vf = V₀ + at
Therefore;
Vf = 0 + (2 × 15)
= 30 m/s
Thus, the final velocity of the student is 30 m/s
<h3>Step 2: Calculate the length (displacement) of the slope </h3>
Using the other equation of linear motion;
S = 0.5 at + V₀t
We can calculate the length, S of the slope
That is;
S = (0.5 × 2 × 15² ) - (0 × 15)
= 225 m
Therefore, the length of the slope is 225 m
