Can you get a better pic so i can read it
Answer:
2.When they reach the bottom of the fall
Explanation:
The potential energy of the waterfall is maximum at the maximum height and decreases with decrease in height. Based on the law of conservation of mechanical energy, as the potential energy of the water fall is decreasing with decrease in height of the fall, its kinetic energy will be increasing and the kinetic energy will be maximum at zero height (bottom of the fall).
Thus, the correct option is "2" When they reach the bottom of the fall
Let us take east and north as the positive x and y-axes should the motion be plotted in a cartesian plane. Thus, the x value is 45 miles and the y value is 20. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of y to x.
tanθ = y / x
Substituting,
tanθ = 20/45 = 0.44
The value of θ is 23.96°.
