Answer:
a. Acceleration, a = 1.88 m/s²
b. Time, t = 7.87 seconds.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial velocity, U = 14.5m/s
Final velocity, V = 29.3m/s
Distance, S = 172m
a. To find the acceleration of the speedboat;
We would use the third equation of motion;
V² = U² + 2aS
Substituting into the formula
29.3² = 14.5² + 2a*172
858.49 = 210.25 + 344a
344a = 858.49 - 210.25
344a = 648.24
a = 648.24/344
Acceleration, a = 1.88 m/s²
b. To find the time;
We would use the first equation of motion;
V = U + at
29.3 = 14.5 + 1.88t
1.88t = 29.3 - 14.5
1.88t = 14.8
Time, t = 14.8/1.88
Time, t = 7.87 seconds.
The work done on the ship is 
Explanation:
The work done by a force on an object is given by:
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the displacement
is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement
In this problem, we have:
(force acting on the ship)
d = 3.00 km = 3000 m (displacement of the ship)
(because the force is horizontal, and the displacement is horizontal as well)
Therefore, the work done on the ship is

<span>The four goals of psychology are: describe observed phenomena, explain them, predict what may occur as a result of them and control behaviour as a result. Julie’s psychologist has helped Julie control her behaviour - her fear response to spiders - so they have met the ‘control behaviour’ goal of psychology.</span>
