Respuesta :
A boat is stationary at 12 meters away from a dock. The boat then begins to move toward the dock with an acceleration of 50 m/s². How long will it take the boat to reach the dock?
Answer:
- Boat can reach the dock at 2.19 s time.
Explanation:
Given that
- Distance of boat to dock d = 12m.
- Acceleration of boat a = 50 m/s².
To find
- How long will it take the boat to reach the dock ?
So according the question
We have,
- Initial velocity u = 0 m/s.
- Acceleration of boat a = 50 m/s².
- Distance of boat from dock s = 12m.
Now, for finding time travelled by boat to reach dock we can use the second equation of motion i.e.
- second equation of motion
s = ut + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] at²
where,
s = Distance.
u = Initial velocity.
t = Time.
a = Acceleration.
Now, putting all given values in second equation of motion,
So, we get
s = ut + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] at²
12 = 0t + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ×5× t²
12×2 = 5t²
t² = [tex]\frac{12 \times 2}{5}[/tex]
t = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{24}{5}}[/tex]
t = [tex]\sqrt{{4.8}}[/tex]
t = [tex]2.19[/tex] s.
Answer:
- Boat can reach the dock at 2.19 s time.
