# Q 4.     A motorboat starting from rest on a lake accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of $3.0\ m s^{-2}$ for 8.0 s. How far does the boat travel during this time?

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 $96\ m$
