The boat's average acceleration is 0.8 m/s².
<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>
Acceleration is defined as the rate change of velocity with time.
acceleration a = (Δv) / (Δt)
A motorboat starting from rest travels in a straight line on a lake. If the boat reaches a speed of 8.0m/s in 10s.
The final velocity v = 8 m/s and it starts from rest, then its initial velocity v = 0 m/s.
Time taken for the change in speed t = 10 s.
The acceleration is given by
a = (8 - 0)/ 10
a = 0.8 m/s²
Thus, the boat's average acceleration is 0.8 m/s².
