Aboat has a mass of 6800 kg. its engines generate a drive force of 4100 n due west, while the wind exerts a force of 800 n due east and the water exerts a resistive force of 1200 n due east. what are the magnitude and direction of the boat’s acceleration?

The boat's acceleration are:  a= 0.3 m/s² in west direction.

Explanation:

Fm= 4100 N

Fwi= 800 N

Fwa= 1200 N

Fm - Fwi - Fwa= m *a

clearing a:

a= 0.3 m/s²

in physics zero. in muscle fatigue could be high

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
