Question

a motorboat starts from rest on a lake accelerates in a straight at a constant rate of 4 metre per second for 6 seconds how far does the boat travels during this time​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think the answer should be 72m.

Explanation:

Given- u=0, a=4 and t=6s

now,

we know that-

s=ut +at^2/2

s=0*6+4*6*6/2

s=36*2

therefore s=72m

Answer 2

Given :

Acceleration of boat = 3 m/s²

Time = 8 seconds

To Find :

The distance travelled by the boat during that time

Solution :

From second equation of motion ,

$\\ \star \: {\boxed{\sf{\purple{s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}a {t}^{2} }}}}$

Where ,

u is initial velocity

t is time

a is acceleration

s is distance travelled

We have ,

u = 0 [starting from rest]

t = 8 sec

a = 8 m/s²

Substituting the values in the equation ,

$\\ : \implies \sf \: s = (0)(8) + \dfrac{1}{2} (3 ) {(8)}^{2}$

$\\ : \implies \sf \: s = \dfrac{1}{2} (3)(64)$

$\\ : \implies \sf \: s = 32 \times 3 \: m$

$\\ : \implies{\underline{\boxed{\pink{\mathfrak{s = 96 \: m}}}}} \: \bigstar$

Hence ,

The distance travelled by the boat during that time is 96 m.
