How could you tell that the trolley in experiment two was accelerating steadily down the ramp?

Ibelieve the answer you're looking for is

The boat's velocity relative to the riverbank can be resolved into two components. the component going north is 2.7 m/s and the component going west is 1.2 m/s.we add these two vectors and then find the magnitude of the resultant to get the speed.the magnitude of the resultant vector from adding can be obtained by the pythagorean theorem.    to two significant figures, the boat's speed relative to the riverbank is 3.0 m/s.

Answervery high orbital velocities in a very compact region;
