$(c)$ A motor boat starting from rest on a lake accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of $3\, m s ^{-2}$ for $8 \,s$. How far does the boat travel during this time ?
$(a)$ Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity while velocity is the rate of change of displacement
$(b)$ Yes. For a body having uniform circular motion magnitude of velocity is constant but it possesses acceleration due to its continuously changing direction.
$(c)$ Using the equation $S=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$
$S=0+\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times(8)^{2}=96 m$
