Starting from rest at a dock, a motor boat on a lake heads northwhile gaining speed at a constant 3.4 m/s2 for 21 s. The boat thenheads west and continues for 10.5 s at the speed that it had at 21s.
(a) What is the average velocity of the boat during the 31.5-strip?
v av = ( m/s) + ( m/s)

(b) What is the average acceleration of the boat during the 31.5-strip?
a av = ( m/s2) + ( m/s2)

(c) What is the displacement of the boat during the 31.5-strip?
?r = ( m)i + ( m)j

The speed of the current in a river is 6mph. A ferry operator who works that part of the river is looking to buy a new boat for her business. Every day, her route takes her 22.5 miles each way against the current and back to her dock, and she needs to make the trip in a total of 9 hours. She has a boat in mind, but she can only test it on a lake where there is no current at all. How fast must the boat go on the lake in order for it to serve the ferry operator’s needs?

A water-skier, moving at a speed of 9.00 m/s, is being pulled by a tow rope that makes an angle of 37.0° with respect to the velocity of the boat (see the drawing). The tow rope is parallel to the water. The skier is moving in the same direction as the boat. If the tension in the tow rope is 125 N, determine the work that it does in 11.5 s.
