What is the distance traveled by the boat during this acceleration?
The distance traveled during acceleration is calculated by multiplying the average velocity by the time taken for the boat to accelerate. This is represented by the formula: d = v * t
The distance traveled is directly proportional to the acceleration. This means that as the acceleration of the boat increases, the distance traveled in a given amount of time will also increase.
Yes, the distance traveled during acceleration can be negative if the boat is decelerating or moving in the opposite direction of its initial velocity. This is because the distance traveled is measured as a displacement from the starting point.
The mass of the boat does not directly affect the distance traveled during acceleration. However, it does impact the amount of force needed to accelerate the boat and can affect the boat's acceleration rate.
Yes, other factors such as air resistance, water current, and friction can also impact the distance traveled during acceleration. These factors can either increase or decrease the distance traveled depending on their magnitude and direction.
