Question

Anjana is riding a motorboat at Katara starting from rest on a lake accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of 3 m/s^2 for 8 s. How far does she ride the boat during this time?

Answer 1

96 meters

Explanation:

The computation of the distance far from her ride the boat during this time is shown below:

According to the kinematics motion equation

`s = u * t + (1)/(2) * a * t^(2)`

where,

o = 0 m/sec

a = 3.0 m/sec

t = 8.0 sec

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the distance far from her ride is

`= 0 * 8 + (1)/(2) * 3 * 8^(2)`

= 96 meters

We simply applied the above formula
