How A speed boat moving at a velocity of 25 ms runs out of gas and drifts to a stop 3 minutes later 100 meters away. What is its rate of deceleration?

To find the rate of deceleration, we first need to convert the time from minutes to seconds. 3 minutes = 180 seconds. Next, we use the equation of motion: final velocity^2 = initial velocity^2 + 2 * acceleration * distance. Since the boat comes to a stop, the final velocity is 0 m/s. Substituting the values and solving for acceleration, we get a deceleration rate of 0.139 m/s^2.
