Students have asked these similar questions
Victoria is standing on a boat, during a perfectly calm day. Initially, both are not moving. Then Victoria walks from one end of the boat to the other. Take the initial time to be before she walks and the final while still walking.
b) Compare the final speed of the boat with Victoria’s final speed. Are they the same or different? Why?

- A bunch of keys was thrown directly upward by Macoy, who is looking out of the window, to be caught by Len-Len living on a room right above him. Unfortunately, Len-Len wasn't able to catch the keys and therefore the bunch of keys went straight to the ground. If Macoy gave the keys an upward speed of 3 m/s and the keys reached the ground after Macoy threw the keys upward in 4 seconds, c. What is the keys' acceleration when it reached its highest point?d.
