A boat moves through the water with two forces acting on it.

A boat moves through the water with two forces acting on it. One is a 2362 N forward push by the motor on the propeller, and the other is an 2209 N resistive force due to the water around the bow. What is the acceleration of the 1037 kg boat? If it starts from rest, how far will it move in 13 s? What will its velocity be at the end of this time interval?
