Answer: 240 ft/sec

Explanation:

If the distance s, of the car regarding his starting position, is defined as a function of time, by definition, the instantaneous velocity at any time, is given by the derivative of the displacement (distance from origin) respect the time, as follows;

v = ds / dt ⇒ v= d/dt (5 t³) = 15 t² = 15 t²

Replacing by t=4 s, we get:

v = 15. 4² = 15.16 = 240 ft/sec

A floating boat has a weight of 100 N. What is the buoyant force on the boat?
lara31 [8.8K]
If the boat is floating, then it's just sitting there, and not accelerating
up or down.  That means the vertical forces on it must be balanced. 

So if its weight (acting downward) is 100 newtons, then the buoyant
force on it (acting upward) must also be 100 newtons.
