Answer:
Acceleration [tex]a=0.455m/sec^2[/tex]
Explanation:
We have given that the force by the motor [tex]F=2.51\times 10^3N=2510N[/tex]
Resistive force by the water [tex]F=1.88\times 10^3N=1880N[/tex]
So net force [tex]F_{NET}=2510-1880=630N[/tex]
Mass of the boat = 1384.1 kg
According to newton's second law F=Ma, here M is mass and a is acceleration
So [tex]630=1384.1\times a[/tex]
[tex]a=0.455m/sec^2[/tex]
