A speedboat increases its speed uniformly from vi = 20.0 m/s to vf = 29.0 m/s in a distance of  Δx = 1.60 ✕ 102 m. For the given information, what single equation is most appropriate for finding the acceleration? Solve the equation selected in part (b) symbolically for the boat's acceleration in terms of vf, vi, and Δx. Substitute given values, obtaining the acceleration.
