The data given to us is as follows
Force of push on the boat= 1725N
Force of resistance on the propeller = 1300N
By Newton's law of motion,
Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration of the body
F= ma
Mass of the boat is given to be 1400kg
Force of movement= Force of push - Force of resistence
= 1725N - 1300N
=425N
F = ma
425 = 1400 x a
a = 425 /1400 = 0.3035 m/s^2
(b) it is given that boat starts from rest
u =0
a=0.303 m/s^2
Using the formula
S= ut +1/2 at^2
S= 0 + 1/2 x 0.303 x 20x20
= 60.6m
(c) Velocity at t=20s
v=u+at
v = 0 + 0.303 x 20
6.06m/s
