A boat accelerates by applying a force in the opposite direction to the desired motion, generating a reaction force that propels the boat forward. This force is typically created by the boat's engine or sail, pushing against the water and creating a forward thrust that moves the boat. The acceleration of the boat depends on the power of the propulsion system and the resistance of the water against the hull of the boat.

Since boats do not have brakes what is the best way to bring your boat to a stop?

Put it in reverse and accelerate.


Are seated passengers in a boat moving compared to the boat?

yes, the boat is traveling at the same speed as the passengers. when the boat accelerates or decelerates the passengers accelerate or decelerate as well. EX: If a boat that is going 50mph suddenly crashes into a cliff sideand stops short the passengers are still traveling at 50mph which is why they will fly forward to there deaths

Why does a boat accelerate faster when the speed is slow?

Acceleration is a quotient of the change in velocity per interval of time. Therefore, as long as there is enough accelerative force to have a high quotient, then speed does not affect acceleration.HOWEVER, in reality, such forces are not unlimited. Also, one must consider drag (aerodynamic and aquadynamic). So, yes, a boat (or car, or Olympic runner) will accelerate more swiftly from a slow speed to a high one, than from a high speed to an even higher one.
