To help pick to up the metal and place it in a incinerator <span />
Answer: 4.8 s
Explanation:
We have the following data:
the mass of the raft
the force applied by Sawyer
the raft's final speed
the raft's initial speed (assuming it starts from rest)
We have to find the time 
Well, according to Newton's second law of motion we have:
(1)
Where 
is the acceleration, which can be expressed as:
(2)
Substituting (2) in (1):
(3)
Where 
Isolating from (3):
(4)
Finally:
The answer is <span>C. 49 m/s
The kinetic equation is:
v2 = v1 + a * t
v1 - initial velocity
v2 - final velocity
a - gravitational acceleration
t - time
We know:
v2 = ?
v1 = 0 (in free fall
a = 9.8 m/s
t = 5
</span>v2 = v1 + a * t
v2 = 0 + 9.8 * 5
v2 = 0 + 49
v2 = 49 m/s
I think the answer is b.boom
40 seconds I’m pretty sure sorry if I’m wrong
