A sailboat starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 0.18 m/s2 over a distance of 494 m.

(a) Find the magnitude of the boat's final velocity.
(b) Find the time it takes the boat to travel this distance.

any physics teacher can help me ??????
A car starts from rest and travels for 4.1 s with a uniform acceleration of +1.4 m/s2. The driver then applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration of -1.8 m/s2. The breaks are applied for 1.80 s.
Vf^2=2*acceleration*distance

distance=1/2 a*t^2 solve for time t.
1. V^2 = Vo^2 + 2a*d.
a. V^2 = 0 + 0.36*494, V = ?.
b. d = 0.5a*t^2.
494 = 0.5*0.18*t^2. t = ?.

2. V = Vo + a*t = 0 + 1.4*4.1 = 5.74 m/s.

V^2 = Vo^2 + 2a*d.
0 = (5.74)^2 - 3.6d. d = ?.
