The speed of a racing boat changes from 0 ft/s to 264 ft/s in six seconds.
What is the acceleration of the boat in ft/s²?
Use the acceleration formula:
\[ a = \frac{{\Delta v}}{{\Delta t}} \]
where \(\Delta v\) is the change in velocity and \(\Delta t\) is the change in time.
Answer (2)
The equation is final velocity-initial velocity/time Substitute: 264/6 Final answer:44ft/s^2
The acceleration of the racing boat is calculated as 44 ft/s², based on a change in velocity from 0 ft/s to 264 ft/s over 6 seconds.
