(a)The acceleration of the 1,400-kg boat will be 0.425 m/sec²
(b) If it starts from rest, the distance through which the boat moves in 20.0 s will be 85 m.
(c)Velocity at the end of that time will be 8.5 m/sec.
<h3>What is velocity?</h3>The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.
Given data;
Forwad force acting on the boat,v₁ = 1,800-N
Resistive force acting on the boat,v₂ = 1,200-N
The acceleration of the boat,a
Mass of boat,m = 1,400-kg
Initial velocity of boat,u= 0 m/sec
Distance travelled by boat,S = ?
Time for the boat travels,t = 20.0 s
Final velocity,V = ? m/sec
The net force on the boat;
F = F₁ - F₂
F = 1800 N - 1200 N
F = 600 N
From the defination of force;
F= ma
a = F / m
a = 600 N / 1400 kg
a = 0.425 m/sec²
b)
The distance through which the boat moves is 20.0 s;
c)
The velocity at the end of that time is found as;
m/sec
Hence the acceleration of the boat, the distance through which the boat moves in 20.0 s, and velocity at the end of that time will be 0.425 m/sec²,85 m, and 8.5 m/sec.
