A boat in a race accelerates uniformly at 0.2 m/s² for 18 seconds to reach a final speed of 6 m/s. Work out the initial speed of the boat.

initial velocity=2.4m/s

Explanation:

Using the formula:

v=u+at

v= final velocity (6m/s)

u=initial velocity (???)

a=acceleration (0.2 m/s²)

t=time(18 seconds)

v=u+at

6=u+(0.2*18)

6=u+3.6

u=6-3.6

u (initial velocity)=2.4m/s

coil wire, increase current, put iron inside the coil

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
