Robert and his younger brother Jake decide to go fishing in a nearby lake. Just before they cast off, they are both sitting at the back of the boat and the bow of the boat is touching the pier. Robert notices that they have left the fishing bait on the pier and asks Jake to go get the bait. Jake has a mass of 59.5 kg and an arm reach of 50.0 cm, Robert has a mass of 87.5 kg, and the boat has a mass of 83.0 kg and is 2.70 m long. Determine the distance the boat moves away from the pier as Jake walks to the front of th

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s
