Answer:
Time taken by motorboat to reach [tex]17.0m/s[/tex] equals 13 seconds.
Explanation:
From the first equation of kinematics we have
[tex]v=u+at[/tex]
where,
'v' is the final speed of the accelerating object
'u' is the initial speed of the object
'a' is the accleration of the object
't' is the time for which the object accelerates
Applying the given values in the equation above we get
[tex]17=4+1.0\times t\\\\\\\therefore t=17-4=13seconds[/tex]
