A boat of mass 2,000 kg is traveling at a speed of 12 m/s. At this speed, the hydrodynamic drag force can be approximated by F = −kv. If the engines of the boat are turned off, the boat’s speed reduces to 4 m/s in 10 seconds. Calculate the value of k and the distance travelled by the boat during the 10 seconds.
