Question

A motorboat accelerates uniformly from a velocity of 6.5 m/s to the west to a velocity of 1.5 m/s to the west. If its acceleration was 2.7 m/s to the est, how far did it travel during the acceleration

Answer 1

Vf^2=Vi^2+2ad

a=2.7 + direction is East, so d will work out to be a negative direction, meaning west.

Answer 2
