Question

Win is sailboarding. Starting from rest near the shore, they accelerate with a uniform acceleration of 2.09 m/s^2. How far (in m) are they from shore after 10.6 seconds

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} a=2.09(m)/(s^2) \\ t=10.6s \end{gathered}`

We can find the distance as follows:

`\begin{gathered} d=(1)/(2)at^2 \\ so\colon \\ d=(2.09\cdot(10.6)^2)/(2) \\ d=117.4162m \end{gathered}`

Answer:

117.4162 m
