Answer:
a. Final velocity, V = 2.179 m/s.
b. Final velocity, V = 7.071 m/s.
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Acceleration = 0.500m/s²
a. To find the velocity of the boat after it has traveled 4.75 m
Since it started from rest, initial velocity is equal to 0m/s.
Now, we would use the third equation of motion to find the final velocity.
Where;
- V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.
- U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.
- a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.
- S represents the displacement measured in meters.
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Taking the square root, we have;
<em>Final velocity, V = 2.179 m/s.</em>
b. To find the velocity if the boat has traveled 50 m.
Taking the square root, we have;
<em>Final velocity, V = 7.071 m/s.</em>
