Use the formula K=0.5*mass*velocity^2
the effect of pressure on surface tension can be attributed in part to absorption of gas at the surface of the liquid and in part to an intrinsic decrease in density of the liquid in the neighborhood of the surface.
In the case of liquids , Owing to contact forces between the edge of the surface and the vessel, the surface acquires a curvature, and if the liquid rises up at the edges where it meets the vessel, the pressure will be less in the liquid than in the air, for points just below and just above the surface. The vessel exerts an upward force on the liquid. This is simply a matter of looking at the directions of forces acting, knowing that the surface is under tension.
Draw a freebody diagram, it will explain it really well
the boat is floating on top of the water, which means that the net acceleration in the y direction must be zero
the boat is not sinking (dominant downwards acceleration/force)
the boat is not flying (dominant upward acceleration/force)
that measn

now, if you drew the FBD, you only have 2 forces acting on the boat.
the upward bouyancy force on the boat and the downward force due to weight

since the net force is equal to zero

and thus
Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
Explanation:
We can derive the initial speed of the rock from the equation of the speed in function of the time:

Using the given values for the speed at time t=1.7s, we get:

In words, the speed of the rock at launch is 34m/s (a).
Next, we use this to calculate the speed at t=4.9s:

This means that the speed of the rock at 4.9s after the launch is 14m/s (b), and the negative sign means that it is moving downwards.
