This question is not about physics science.
The answer is: option <span>a. Five-year-old children have longer attention spans than three-year-old children.
It is the attention ability what let the older children to stay longer in one location instead of being moving between different activities. The younger children who cannot keep their attention long time in a same activity entertain themselves by changing activities.

The horizontal speed has no effect on the answer.
It doesn't matter whether you flick a marble horizontally from the roof,
fire a high-power rifle horizontally from the roof, drive a school bus straight
off the roof, or drop a bowling ball from the roof with zero horizontal speed.
Their vertical speed is completely determined by gravity, (and it happens to
be the same for all of them).
Handy dandy formula for the distance covered by anything that starts out
with zero speed and accelerates to the end:
Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) x (time)²
If the beginning of the journey is on Earth, then the acceleration is
9.8 m/s² ... the acceleration of gravity on Earth. We'll assume that
the 55-meter rooftop in the question is part of a building on Earth.
55 meters = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) x (time)²
Divide each side
by 4.9 m/s² : 55 m / 4.9 m/s² = (time)²
(time)² = (55/4.9) sec²
Square-root
each side: time = √(55/4.9 sec²)
= 3.35 sec .
Its speed reading would increase to 10 m/s every second
I’m sure it’s called a circuit:)
