30. GP A speedboat increases its speed uniformly from
v, = 20.0 m/s to v, = 30.0 m/s in a distance of 2.00 x
102 m. (a) Draw a coordinate system for this situation
and label the relevant quantities, including vectors.
(b) For the given information, what single equation is
most appropriate for finding the acceleration? (c) Solve
the equation selected in part (b) symbolically for the
boat's acceleration in terms of v, v, and Ax. (d) Substi-
tute given values, obtaining that acceleration. (e) Find
the time it takes the boat to travel the given distance.
