As a speedboat approaches a harbour entrance, its velocity falls uniformly from +17 m/s to +7.0 m/s, during which its displacement is +40 m.
Use the equation v2−u2=2axv^2-u^2=2axv2−u2=2ax.
What is the acceleration of the speedboat?
+3.0 m/s2+3.0\ \mathrm{m/s^2}+3.0 m/s2
+6.0 m/s2+6.0\ \mathrm{m/s^2}+6.0 m/s2
−3.0 m/s2-3.0\ \mathrm{m/s^2}−3.0 m/s2
−6.0 m/s2-6.0\ \mathrm{m/s^2}−6.0 m/s2
