A boat moves through the water with two forces acting on it. One is a 2.72×10 3 N forward push by the motor, and the other is a 1.76×10 3 N resistive force due to the water. What is the acceleration of the 1384.9 kg boat? Answer in units of m/s 2 If it starts from rest, how far will it move in 17.3 s? Answer in units of m

Due to Newton's second law: Fm - Fres = ma where Fm is the force which motor pushes and Fres is a resistive force.
a = (Fm - Fres)/m = (2.72*10^3 - 1.76*10^3) / 1384.9 = 0.693 m/s^2. The equation for displacement is: S = V0*t & + (at^2)/2, V0 = 0. S = (at^2)/2 = (0.693*17.3^2)/2 = 103.7 m
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
