EXAMPLE 2-9 THE FERRY DOCKSA ferry makes a short run between two docks: one in Anacortes, Washington, the other on Guemes Island. As the ferryapproaches the Guemes dock (traveling in the positive x direction), its speed is 6.8 m>s. (a) If the ferry slows to a stop in13.3 s, what is its average acceleration? (b) As the ferry returns to the Anacortes dock, its speed is 6.1 m>s. If it comes torest in 12.9 s, what is its average acceleration?
