So the initial velocity is 15 m/s, the final velocity is 0 since it's at a complete stop and time is 10 seconds. Therefore:

Therefore, the acceleration is -1.5 m/s^2. The reason it's negative is due to the fact that the vector is going against it's original movement since it's decelerating.
in situations involving equal masses, chemical reactions produce less energy than nuclear reactions.
Hello!!
For the maximum height the final velocity is zero, <u>because can't up more.</u>
Then, use the formula:
V = Vi + gt
Replacing, we have:
0 m/s = 5,3 m/s + (-9,8 m/s² * t)
0 m/s - 5,3 m/s = -9,8 m/s² * t
(-5,3 m/s) / -9,8 m/s² = t
t = 0,54 s
The time it will take to reach the maximum height is <u>0,54 seconds.</u>
By the Pythagorean theorem we get
. Thus the resultant velocity will be 5 m/s.
However there is a typo in the choices. It should take 25 seconds to cross the river, not 20 seconds, since the boat actually travels 125 meters due to the water current, and 125/5 = 25 seconds.
Alternatively you can calculate the eastward component of travel and get 100 / 4 = 25 seconds.
