A boat is moving at a rate of 15.0 meters per second. Its speed is then decreased uniformly to 3.0 meters per second. It takes 4 seconds for the speed to decrease. What is the magnitude of the deceleration of the car?

he kicked it 10 feet straight up into the air? i think this works.

50 inches should be the resultant vector

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2
