Sounds like the shingle/ball is thrown from the roof horizontally, so that the distance it travels <em>x</em> after time <em>t</em> horizontally is
<em>x</em> = (7.2 m/s) <em>t</em>
The object's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is
<em>y</em> = 9.4 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²
where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, and its vertical velocity is
<em>v</em> = -<em>gt</em>
(a) The object hits the ground when <em>y</em> = 0:
0 = 9.4 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²
<em>t</em>² = 2 * (9.4 m) / (9.80 m/s²)
<em>t</em> ≈ 1.92 s
at which time the object's vertical velocity is
<em>v</em> = -<em>g</em> (1.92 s) = -18.8 m/s ≈ -19 m/s
(b) See part (a); it takes the object about 1.9 s to reach the ground.
(c) The object travels a horizontal distance of
<em>x</em> = (7.2 m/s) * (1.92 s) ≈ 13.8 m ≈ 14 m
The correct answer is A. Solid Rock

Answer: An 8 kg book at a height of 3 m has the most gravitational potential energy.
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is the product of mass of object, height of object and gravitational field.
So, formula to calculate gravitational potential energy is as follows.
U = mgh
where,
m = mass of object
g = gravitational field =
h = height of object
(A) m = 5 kg and h = 2m
Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.
(B) m = 8 kg and h = 2 m
Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.
(C) m = 8 kg and h = 3 m
Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.
(D) m = 5 kg and h = 3 m
Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that an 8 kg book at a height of 3 m has the most gravitational potential energy.
