Calculate the acceleration of a boat that has been cruising at 15 m/s but speeds up to 45 m/s in 6 seconds. Don’t forget your units: m/s\(^2\).

Calculate the acceleration of a boat that has been cruising at 15 m/s but speeds up to 45 m/s in about 6 seconds. Don’t forget your units, m/s2.
In order to calculate the acceleration of the boat we first have to identify the suited formula for acceleration in this scenario.
Hence, a = vf – vi / t.
Vi = 15 m/s
Vf = 45 m/s
T = 6 seconds

Solution:
A = 45 m/s – 15m/s / 6s
**A = 5m/s^2

Hence, a = vf – vi / t. Vi = 15 m/s Vf = 45 m/s T = 6 seconds
Solution:
A = 45 m/s – 15m/s / 6s
A = 5m/s^2 ;

The acceleration of the boat is calculated to be 5 m/s² by using the formula for acceleration, which is the change in velocity divided by the time taken. The boat speeds up from 15 m/s to 45 m/s over a period of 6 seconds. Thus, the final result is 5 m/s².
