In 1935, a French destroyer, La Terrible, attained one of the fastest speeds for any standard warship. Suppose it took 3.0 min at a constant acceleration of 0.50 m/s2 for the ship to reach its top speed after starting from rest. Calculate the ship’s final speed.

Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 50-mm diameter tube. the end of the tube is b = 2.6 m below the tank bottom which is a = 6.7 m deep, and viscous effects are negligible. determine the maximum height h over which the water can be siphoned without cavitation occurring. atmospheric pressure is 101.4 kpa, and the water vapor pressure is 1.79 kpa (absolute). report your answer in meters to two decimal places.
