We use the kinematic equations,

v=u+at                                          (A)

S= ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2                  (B)

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Given,  u=0, a=0.21 \ m/s^2 and s= 280 m.

Substituting these values in equation (B), we get

280 \ m = 0 +\frac{1}{2} (0.21 m/s^2) t^2 \\\\ t^2 = \frac{280 \times 2}{0.21 } \\\\ t= 51.63 \ s.

Therefore from equation (A),

v = 0 + (0.21) \times (51.63 s)= 10.84 \ m/s

Thus, the magnitude of the boat's final velocity is 10.84 m/s and the time taken by boat to travel the distance 280 m is 51.63 s

The winning time for a 500.0 mile circular race track was 3 hours and
lyudmila [28]

Explanation:

We have,

Distance traveled in a circular track is 500 miles

The winning time was 3 hours and  13 minutes. It means time is 3.217 hours.

The driver's average speed is given by total distance divided by total time taken. Its formula can be written as :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500\ miles}{3.217\ h}\\\\v=155.42\ mph

At the end of the race, the driver reaches the point form where he has started. It means the displacement of the driver is equal to 0. Hence, driver's average velocity is equal to 0.

vladimir2022 [97]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Velocity is vector quantity.So it needs direction in addition to speed.</em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion. </em>
