Speed is equal to distance traveled divided by the time. So it's 3.5 m/s
Answer
Time period T = 1.50 s
time t = 40 s
r = 6.2 m
a)
Angular speed ω = 2π/T
=
= 4.189 rad/s
Angular acceleration α = 
= 
= 0.105 rad/s²
Tangential acceleration a = r α = 6.2 x 0.105 = 0.651 m/s²
b)The maximum speed.
v = 2πr/T
= 
= 25.97 m/s
So centripetal acceleration.
a = 
= 
= 108.781 m/s^2
= 11.1 g
in combination with the gravitation acceleration.


The correct answer to the question is : B) The weight of the water, and C) The height of the water.
EXPLANATION :
Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand potential energy of a body.
The potential energy of a body due to its position from ground is known as gravitational potential energy.
The gravitational potential energy is calculated as -
Potential energy P.E = mgh
Here, m is the mass of the body, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
h stands for the height of the body from the ground.
We know that weight of a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.
Hence, weight W = mg
Hence, potential energy is written as P.E = weight × height.
Hence, potential energy depends on the weight and height of the water.
