Answer:
Option c. Correlational
Explanation:
Correlational research is basically a method of carrying out a research where an experiment can not be conducted and where a researcher has to figure out that whether the two variable are in association with each other and if these are related then in what way the association between these two exists without any manipulation from the researcher's end.
It seeks to understand, measure and make assessment of the relationship or
association between these variables but can not find out if a variable is caused by the other variable.
Answer:

Explanation:
From the question we are told that
Weight of fireman 
Pole distance 
Final speed is 
Generally the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as

Therefore Acceleration a
Generally the equation for Frictional force
is mathematically given as



Therefore

the independent variable is what you're testing or changing in an experiment, so the answer is the temperature of the ball when its dropped.
i hope that helped <3
Answer:
39200 joules
the potential energy will be zero
Explanation:
we know that potential energy is found by multiplying mass, acceleration due to gravity and height from the Earth's surface
so it will be
potential energy= mgh
80x9.8x15
= 39200 joules
the potential energy of the mental ball will be zero when kept on the Earth's surface because the height from the Earth's surface will be zero and zero multiplied to any number is zero only
I have a doubt with the second one, this is what I think it is. Consult your teacher if you think my answer for the second one is wrong
