As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.
From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as
Where,
m = mass
= initial and final velocity
g = Gravity
h = height
As the mass is tHe same and the final height is zero we have that the expression is now:
Answer: 0.2m

<h2>Answer:</h2>
The rate of deceleration is -0.14
Using one of the equations of motion;
v = u + at
where;
v = final velocity of the boat = 0m/s (since the boat decelerates to a stop)
u = initial velocity of the boat = 25m/s
a = acceleration of the boat
t = time taken for the boat to accelerate/decelerate from u to v = 3 minutes
<em>Convert the time t = 3 minutes to seconds;</em>
=> 3 minutes = 3 x 60 seconds = 180seconds.
<em>Substitute the values of v, u, t into the equation above. We have;</em>
v = u + at
=> 0 = 25 + a(180)
=> 0 = 25 + 180a
<em>Make a the subject of the formula;</em>
=> 180a = 0 - 25
=> 180a = -25
=> a = -25/180
=> a = -0.14
The negative value of a shows that the boat is decelerating.
Therefore, the rate of deceleration of the speed boat is 0.14
