A boat is drifting to the right with a speed of 5.0 m/s when the driver turns on the motor. The motor runs for 6.0 seconds causing a constant leftward acceleration of magnitude 4.0 m/s squared. What is the displacement of the boat over the 6.0 second time interval?

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Drifting right with speed 5.0m/s

The motor runs for 6.0 seconds

Leftward acceleration of magnitude 4.0 m/s squared

Generally the equation can be used here

Mathematically solving with the newton equation above we have that

Therefore having this the Displacement is leftward

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19

not too sure thinking all accelerations are pointed down
