An object falls from a bridge that is 45m above the water . It falls directly into a small row-boat moving with constant velocity that was 12 m from the point of impact when the object was released. What was the speed of the boat ?

Answer»

Solution :Boat velocity `v=s/t, "But"s=12m`
`:. T=s/u=12/v`…(1)
Ball has fallen from a HEIGHT of 45M, `u=0`
`S=ut+1/2at^(2)`
`45m=0+1/2xxgt^(2)=1/2xx10xx((12)/v)^(2)`
`v^(2)=1/2xx10xx(144)/(45)=(720)/(45)`
`v^(2)=16`
`:. V=4 m//s`
