A sailboat is being constantly accelerated at 3 m/s2. The wind continues to accelerate the boat, causing it to travel 517 meters in 15 seconds. What was the velocity of the boat before the wind started pushing it?
Remember: For full credit, your solution should fill the entire page and should include (1) a diagram, (2) words, and (3) math. In your explanation, you should explain how you knew which equation to use and how you solved for the final answer. You should also state whether your final answer is reasonable or not. For example, a speed of 1,000m/s is not a reasonable speed for a sailboat because they're usually much slower.
