Abig cruise ship dropped anchor off the caribbean island of barbuda. the heavy anchor was released from a height of 54 meters above the water's surface, and it fell at a constant rate. after 35 seconds, the anchor was 9 meters below the water's surface. how fast did the anchor drop? how long did it take the anchor to reach the water's surface?

Part 1)

Part 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the speed at which the anchor dropped

we know that

The speed is equal to the distance divided by the time

In this problem the distance is equal to

And the time is equal to

substitute and find the speed

Step 2

Find the time taken for the anchor to reach the water's surface

Remember that

In this part we have

Substitute and solve for the time

after going and makeing graphs i would go with a,

there is nothing that is matches the graph. if there was i would show you. but therefore my answer is a.

hope i
