Boat Acceleration Calculator:
Enter the values of Force generated FM(N) , Force of Drag from the water FD(N) , Force of Drag from the water FD(N) & Mass of the Boat mB(kg) to determine the value of Boat Acceleration BA(m/s2).
Boat Acceleration Formula:
The Boat Acceleration BA(m/s2) in meter per second square is equal to the Force generated by the Motor FM(N) in Newton and is Subtracted to the Force of Drag from the water FD(N) in Newton and Divided by the Mass of the Boat mB(kg) in kilogram.
The Equation of Boat Acceleration can be written as,
BA(m/s2) = ( FM(N) – FD(N) ) / mB(kg)
Here,
BA(m/s2) = Boat Acceleration in meter per second square
FM(N) = Force generated by the Motor in Newton
FD(N) = Force of Drag from the water in Newton
mB(kg) = Mass of the Boat in kilogram
Boat Acceleration Calculation:
1)Calculate the Boat Acceleration and given for Force generated by the Motor = 8000N , Force of Drag from the water = 2000N , Mass of the Boat = 350kg.
Answer
BA = ( FM – FD ) / mB
BA = ( 8000 – 2000 ) / 350
BA = 17.142m/s2.
2)Calculate the Mass of the Boat and given for Force generated by the Motor = 8000N , Force of Drag from the water = 2000N , Boat Acceleration = 17.142m/s2.
Answer
BA = ( FM – FD ) / mB
17.142 = ( 8000 – 2000 ) / mB
mB = 350kg.
