Asailboat is traveling across the ocean with a speed of 4 m/s when large gusts of wind pick up that starts to accelerate the sailboat at 3 m/s^2. how far will the boat have traveled one full minute after the gusts pick up.

With acceleration of 3 m/s^2, the boat gains 180 m/s of speed in 60 seconds.

Do it starts the minute at 4 m/s and ends it at 184 m/s. Its average speed for the whole minute is 92 m/s.

Averaging 92 m/s for 60 s, it covers (92•60)= 5.52 kilometers.

Notice that at the end of the minute, the speed is like 412 miles per hour ! The boat has been overtaken and carried along by the most monstrous tornado that ever existed on Earth, and it's definitely NOT the boat that covers 5.52 km in the next minute. It's a few shards and splinters of what WAS the boat a short time earlier, and we can totally fugedabout the poor guy who was sailing it and couldn't get out of the way fast enough. Poor guy. I only hope Royaltee dropped a decimal point out of that "3m/s^2" .
