Vt = Vboat - Vriver
Vt = 18 - 2.5 = 15.5 m/s
If the boat's direction is the same as the water, you sum the velocities of the river and the boat .
Yes, all of these could be applied to a roller coaster.
There are two forces at play:
- The gravitational force acting downward due to the mass of the bucket and the water that it contains.
- The upward force that your hand exerts on the bucket.
If the magnitude of the force your hand exerts on the bucket equals the magnitude of the gravitational force, the bucket is in static equilibrium. That means the bucket is not moving and the forces acting on it balance each other out, making the net force 0.
Having 0 net force means the bucket doesn't undergo any acceleration, or change in motion.
Here,
height at failure, h1 = 525 m,
upward acceleration, a = 2.25 m/s^2,
velocity = v m/s,
<span>
SO, </span>
<span>
v^2 = 2*a*h = 2*2.25*525 = 2362.5 </span>
Now, acceleration, g = 9.8 m/s^2,
<span>
SO, </span>
<span>
heigt, h1 = v^2/2g = 2362.5 / 2*9.8 = 120.54 meters </span>
Hence,
<span>
a) </span>
Total height = 525+120.54 = 645.54 meters
b)
<span>time, for h1, t = v/g = sqrt(2362.5)/9.8 = 4.96 sec

The average velocity of Sandy is given by the total distance covered S divided by the total time taken t:

The total distance covered is

while the total time taken is 2 hours + half an hour (for the rest) + 1 hour and half, so

Therefore, the average velocity is
