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?

Answer:

[tex]D= -0.42km[/tex]

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 [tex]V=ut+1/2at^2[/tex] can be used here

[tex]V=ut+1/2at^2[/tex]

Mathematically solving with the newton equation above we have that

   [tex]D=5*6 + \frac{1}{2} (-4)*6^2[/tex]

   [tex]D=30-72[/tex]

   [tex]D=-42m[/tex] [tex]or -0.42km[/tex]

Therefore having this the Displacement is [tex]D= -0.42km[/tex] leftward
