Answer: 2.19 seconds

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Initial speed, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration of the boat, a = 5 m/s^2

Distance between the boat and dock, d = 12 m

Using the third kinematics equation to solve for time:

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

12 = 0*t + (1/2)*5*t^2

t = sqrt (12*2/5)

t = 2.19 seconds

Therefore, it will take the boat approximately 2.19 seconds to reach the dock
