Question

A motorboat starting from rest on a lake accelerated in a straight line at a constant rate of 6.0 m s-1 for 16.0 s how far does the boat travel during this time?

Answer 1

Answer: The units denote Velocity but question says Acceleration.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance = 288 m.

Explanation:

Given Information -

• Acceleration(a) = 6m/s²
• Time(t) =16 secs.
• Initial velocity (u) =0m/s

ㅤ

To Find-

• Distance(s) .

ㅤ

Solution-

What to do?

To find the distance with the given information, we'll use the formula inboxed below, then replace the values with the formula and find our required answer.

ㅤ

Formula -

${Distance(s)=ut+\frac{1}{2}at² }$

ㅤ

Answer -

[Replacing values with formula]

$s = (0 \times 16) + \frac{1}{2} \times 16 \times {6}^{2} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 16 \times 36 \\ \\ =8 \times 36 \\ \\ = 288 \: m$

So, distance travelled is 288 m.
