A boat is drifting to the right with a speed of 5.0 m/s when the driver turns on the motor. The motor runs for 6.0 seconds causing a constant leftward acceleration of magnitude 4.0 m/s squared. What is the displacement of the boat over the 6.0 second time interval?

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Drifting right with speed 5.0m/s

The motor runs for 6.0 seconds

Leftward acceleration of magnitude 4.0 m/s squared

Generally the equation can be used here

Mathematically solving with the newton equation above we have that

Therefore having this the Displacement is leftward

multiple

0 = 0.40 / 0 = 0

= 0.20 = 9.80 ⁄2 =?

=0 , = = 0.20 =0.50 0 0.40 ⁄

=0−122 =0−12(9.80 ⁄2)(0.50)2 =1.2
