The discussion centers on the physics of boat acceleration and velocity influenced by forces. A boat with a mass of 1000 kg experiences a forward force of 1600 N and a resistive force of 1400 N. The net force acting on the boat is 200 N, resulting in an acceleration of 0.2 m/s². Over a time span of 9 seconds, the boat will travel 8.1 meters and reach a final velocity of 1.8 m/s.

You have to show us some effort to solve the problem. To start, what is the relationship between force and acceleration and mass?marzbars121 said:Homework Statement
A boat moves through the water with two forces acting on it. One is a 1600 N forward push by the water on the propeller, and the other is an 1400 N resistive force due to the water around the bow.
(a) What is the acceleration of the 1000 kg boat?
m/s 2
(b) If it starts from rest, how far will it move in 9.0 s?
m
(c) What will its velocity be at the end of that time?
m/s
