(a) The 1,400-kg boat will accelerate at 0.425 m/sec².
(b) If the boat starts off at rest, it will travel 85 meters in 20.0 seconds.
(c)At the conclusion of the period, the speed will be 8.5 m/sec.
What is velocity?
The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.
Given data;
Forwad force acting on the boat,v₁ = 1,800-N
Resistive force acting on the boat,v₂ = 1,200-N
The acceleration of the boat,a
Mass of boat,m = 1,400-kg
Initial velocity of boat,u= 0 m/sec
Distance travelled by boat,S = ?
Time for the boat travels,t = 20.0 s
Final velocity,V = ? m/sec
The net force on the boat;
F = F₁ - F₂
F = 1800 N - 1200 N
F = 600 N
From the defination of force;
F= ma
a = F / m
a = 600 N / 1400 kg
a = 0.425 m/sec²
b)
The distance through which the boat moves is 20.0 s;
[tex]\rm x_f = x_ 0 + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2} at^2 \\\\ x_f = \frac{1}{2}at^2 \\\\ x_f = 0+0 + \frac{1}{2} at^2 \\\\ x_f = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.425 \times (20 )^ 2 \\\\ x_f = 85 \ m[/tex]
c)
The velocity at the end of that time is found as;
[tex]\rm v_f = v_ 0 + at \\\\ v_f =- 0+ at \\\\ v_f = 8.5[/tex] m/sec
Therefore, the boat's acceleration, the distance it travels in 20.0 seconds, and its final speed will be 0.425 m/sec², 85 m, and 8.5 m/sec.
