A speedboat starts from rest with a constant acceleration of +1.50 m/s2. After 4.00 seconds, its acceleration changes to +1.00 m/s2. After another 5.00 seconds, its acceleration changes to zero and the boat travels with constant velocity for a further 10.0 seconds. The boat then slows down and stops by accelerating at -2.00 m/s2. 1. Calculate the velocity and displacement of the boat at t = 4.00 seconds. 2. Calculate the velocity and displacement of the boat at t =...
