A small boat is moving at a velocity of 3.35m/s when it is accelerated by a river current perpendicular to the initial direction of motion. The current accelerates the boat at 0.750m/s^2. what will the new velocity (magnitude and direction) of the boat be after 5 s?

Dorian · Answer 1

v = 7.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

u = 3.35 m/s

t = 5 s

a = 0.75 m/s²

The final velocity = v

We know v = u + at

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

Now by putting the values in the above equation

v = 3.35 + 0.75 x 5 m/s

v = 7.1 m/s

Therefore the final velocity will be 7.1 m/s
