    DIRECTIONS: On the basis of following diagram/ picture answer the questions given below: A man, carrying a bag of sand, is walking at a constant speed. There is a hole in the bag and sand is continuously falling out. His kinetic energy at point B will be ________ his kinetic energy at point A.

    A) less than          

    B) more than

    C) equal to           

    D) zero, equal to

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

        The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends on its mass. Since sand is continuously falling out of the bag, the total mass of the man at point B is less than total mass at point A. Hence, his kinetic energy will be less at point B than at point A.
