31) A large cargo ship dropped anchor in the ocean. The anchor was released at a constant rate of speed from a height of 44 meters
above the water's surface. After 32 seconds, the anchor was 20 meters below the water's surface.
. E represents the anchor's elevation relative to the water's surface at a given time,
S represents the speed at which the anchor is dropped (in meters per second).
• T represents the time (in seconds).
Which TWO statements are correct?
A)
The anchor dropped at a rate of 4 m/s.
B)
It took 16 seconds for the anchor to reach.
water's surface.
It took 22 seconds for the anchor to reach the watesurface.
