Question

What is the speed of the boat?  A person is standing at rest on a bridge that is 44 metres above the water. They drop their cellphone. Remember that drop means the initial velocity = 0 m/s. It falls directly onto a boat that was moving with a constant horizontal velocity that was 11 metres from the point of impact (where the cell phone hits the boat) when the cellphone was dropped. Ignore the height of the boat. Assume where the cellphone lands it is just at the height of the water. What is the speed of the boat in meters per second?
