Answer:
Explanation:
acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity
a = (51 - 20) / 3 = 10⅓ mi/hr/s
which should probably be converted to standard units.
10⅓ mi/hr/s(5280 ft/mi) / 3600 s/hr) = 15.15555... ≈ 15.2 ft/s²
which is roughly half the acceleration of gravity.
Answer:
Explanation:
Givens
vi = 10 m/s
a = 1.5 m/s^2
d = 600 m
vf = ?
Formula
vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d
Solution
vf^2 = 10^2 + 2*1.5 * 600
vf^2 = 100 + 1800
vf^2 = 1900
sqrt(vf^2) = sqrt(1900)
vf = 43.59 m/s
Maybe the water wasnt stable enough and probably couldnt read the water level correctly
