A motorboat starting from rest on a lake accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of 3.0 m s⁻² for 8.0 s. How far does the boat travel during this time?

Open in App

Solution

Initial velocity, u = 0 (since the motor boat is initially at rest)

Acceleration of the motorboat, a = 3 m/s²

Time taken, t = 8 s

According to the second equation of motion:

Distance covered by the motorboat, s

Hence, the boat travels a distance of 96 m.
