Hull displacement & wind speed.
These were called the "clipper ships", and were predominantly British and American ships. They were narrower than previous vessels, and among the fastest sailing ships ever built. They were only eclipsed by the development of practical steam power.
Time and distance
No the boat was sailing at an average speed
Two factors that determine an object's velocity are its speed (magnitude of the velocity) and direction of motion. Velocity is a vector quantity that combines both speed and direction.
Speed of motion is determined by time and distance.
distance and time
The nautical term for a unit of speed when sailing or navigating a boat is the word knots. To measure a knot it is the unit of speed equal to one nautical mile approximately 1.151 mph.
Close haul sailing involves sailing as close to the wind as possible, typically at an angle of 30-45 degrees. This technique allows the boat to sail upwind efficiently. Key factors to consider when navigating in close haul conditions include wind direction, sail trim, boat speed, and maintaining a proper course to maximize efficiency and speed.
Mass and Speed
The three factors that determine the amount of kinetic energy an object has are its mass, its speed, and the direction in which it is moving. Objects with greater mass or higher speed will have more kinetic energy.
The speed or velocity of the object before impact and the mass of the object are two important factors that determine the force of impact. The greater the speed or mass of the object, the higher the force of impact will be.
