Vf = Vo + at
Vf = 20 m/s
Vo = 50 m/s
a = ?
t = 15
Therefore
20 = 50 + 15a
20 - 50 = 15a
-30 = 15a
a = -30 / 15
a = -2 m/s²
Ocean waves travel through the medium called
"ocean water" or "salt water" or simply "water".
Let the key is free falling, therefore from equation of motion
.
Take initial velocity, u=0, so
.

As velocity moves with constant velocity of 3.5 m/s, therefore we can use formula

From above substituting t,
.
Now substituting all the given values and g = 9.8 m/s^2, we get
.
Thus, the distance the boat was from the point of impact when the key was released is 10.60 m.
