A sailboat starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 0.21 m/s^2 over a distance of 280 m. find the magnitude of the boat's final velocity. find the time it takes the boat to travel this distance.

Respuesta :

We use the kinematic equations,

[tex]v=u+at[/tex]                                          (A)

[tex]S= ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]                  (B)

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Given,  [tex]u=0[/tex], [tex]a=0.21 \ m/s^2[/tex] and [tex]s= 280 m[/tex].

Substituting these values in equation (B), we get

[tex]280 \ m = 0 +\frac{1}{2} (0.21 m/s^2) t^2 \\\\ t^2 = \frac{280 \times 2}{0.21 } \\\\ t= 51.63 \ s[/tex].

Therefore from equation (A),

[tex]v = 0 + (0.21) \times (51.63 s)= 10.84 \ m/s[/tex]

Thus, the magnitude of the boat's final velocity is 10.84 m/s and the time taken by boat to travel the distance 280 m is 51.63 s



The boat's final velocity is 10.84 m/s and it takes 51.6 seconds for the boat to travel this distance.

The sail boat starts from rest, hence the initial velocity (u) = 0, the acceleration (a) = 0.21 m/s², the distance (s) = 280 m.

To find the boat final velocity, use the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2(0.21)(280)

v² = 117.6

v = 10.84 m/s

The time taken is given as:

v = u + at

10.84 = 0 + 0.21t

t = 51.6 seconds

Hence the boat's final velocity is 10.84 m/s and it takes 51.6 seconds for the boat to travel this distance.
