Given, The motorboat starts from rest. Hence, initial speed of the motorboat, u = 0\ ms^{-1}

Acceleration of the motorboat, a = 3.0\ m s^{-2}

Time taken, t = 8\ s

(b) We know, s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

\\ \implies s = 0(8) + \frac{1}{2}(3)(8)^2 \\ \implies s = \frac{1}{2}(3)(64) \\ \\ \implies s = 96\ m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the motorboat is 96\ m
