A boat travels with a velocity equal to 14.0 meters per second, east in 6.15 seconds. What distance in meters does the boat trav
1 answer:
Answer:
Distance, d is 86.1 meters.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Time, t = 6.15secs
Velocity = 14m/s
Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;
Substituting into the above equation;
d = 86.1m
Hence, the distance traveled by the boat is 86.1 meters.

Answer:
B) t = 1.83 [s]
A) y = 16.51 [m]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.
where:
Vf = final velocity = 0
Vo = initial velocity = 18 [m/s]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
t = time [s]
Note: the negative sign in the above equation means that the acceleration of gravity is acting in the opposite direction to the motion.
A) The maximum height is reached when the final velocity of the ball is zero.
0 = 18 - (9.81*t)
9.81*t = 18
t = 18/9.81
t = 1.83 [s], we found the answer for B.
Now using the following equation.
where:
y = elevation [m]
Yo = initial elevation = 0
y = 18*(1.83) - 0.5*9.81*(1.83)²
y = 16.51 [m]
