Question

a boat with an initial speed of 5,0m/s accelerate at a uniform rate of 1.2m/s for 5.0s. what is the final speed of the boat during this time

Answer 1

Question

We have: that $v_0 = 5 \frac{m}{s}$, $t = 5$ s and $a = 1.2 \frac{m}{s^2}$. And we need to find $v_1$.

We will have: $v_1 = v_0 + at = 5 + 1.2 \cdot 5 = 5 + 6 = 11 \frac{m}{s}$.

Answer: $11 \frac{m}{s}$.
