If the boat goes from 30 km/h to 50 km/h over the next 4 h, what is its acceleration?
Please help me

Respuesta :

Answer:

The acceleration is 5km/h

Explanation:

Given

Initial Velocity (u) = 30km/h

Final Velocity (v) = 50km/h

Time (t) = 4h

Required

Determine the acceleration

This question will be answered using the first equation of motion;

[tex]v = u + at[/tex]

Substitute values for u, v and t

[tex]50 = 30 + a * 4[/tex]

[tex]50 = 30 + 4a[/tex]

Subtract 30 from both sides

[tex]50 - 30 = 30 - 30+ 4a[/tex]

[tex]20 = 4a[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4

[tex]\frac{20}{4} = \frac{4a}{4}[/tex]

[tex]5 = a[/tex]

[tex]a = 5[/tex]

Hence;

The acceleration is 5km/h
