Question

starting from reast a boat increases its speed to 4.12 m/s with constant acceleration. (a) what is the boat's average speed? (b) If it take the boat 4.77s to reach this speed, how for has it traveled?

Answer 1

A) Formula for average velocity for motion with constant acceleration.

1/2(initial velocity + final velocity)

Therefore,

1/2(0 +

Answer 2

A) Formula for average velocity for motion with constant acceleration.

1/2(initial velocity + final velocity)

Therefore,

1/2(0 + 4.12) = 2.06 m/s

B) Use the answer from above to calculate the total distance.

2.06 * 4.77 = 9.8262 meters.
