A speedboat moving at 30.0 m/s approaches

Still can't find your question?
question_icon_small
A speedboat moving at 30.0 m/s approaches a no-wake buoy marker 100m ahead. The pilot slows the boat with a constant acceleration of - 3.50 m/s2 by reducing the throttle.
(a) How long does it take the boat to reach the buoy?
(b) What is the velocity of the boat when it reaches the buoy?
