A motorboat accelerates uniformly from a velocity of 6.5m/s
to the west to a velocity of 1.5m/s to the west. if its accelerate was 2.7m/s2
to the east ,
how far did it travel during the accelration? Give your
answer in units of kilometers per hour/sec. To find the acceleration of the car
we have to
1. First determine
the suitable formula for this word problem.
Which is a. A=vf-vi/t
which will be
Given are: Vi= 6.5 m/s Vf= 1.5 m/s a= 2.7 m/sec2 t=1.85s
Solution:
x = v0t + ½at2
x = 16.645375 m
