Question

a boat starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 6 s. If the boat travels 40 m in that time, what is the boats magnitude of acceleration?

Answer 1

2.22 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

s = 40 m

u = 0 m/s

t = 6 s

Find: a

s = ut + ½ at²

40 = (0) (6) + ½ a (6)²

a = 2.22 m/s²
