Question

When you step off a bus moving at 2 m/s, your horizontal speed when you meet the ground isA) zero.B) less than 2 m/s but greater than zero.C) about 2 m/s.D) greater than 2 m/s.

Answer 1

C) about 2 m/s.

Explanation:

While step off the bus, it acquires a vertical component of velocity, but it still has the initial horizontal component of velocity due to the movement of the bus.

Which means that the velocity is either 2 m/s or about 2 m/s
