If a boat and its riders have a mass of 900 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.4 m/s how much work does sam do to stop it?

Physics

The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is
K_i =  \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(900 kg)(1.4 m/s)^2=882 J

After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is
K_f = 0 J
because its final velocity is zero.

For the law of conservation of energy, the work done by Sam is the variation of kinetic energy of the system:
W=K_f-K_i =0-882 J=-882 J
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.

If you put a object in front of the mirror why does it appear the opposite way
UNO [17]
It is because that is how mirrors work, they reflect light, and since we see objects because we are seeing the light these objects reflect, what is reflected back by the mirror is what we see.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

No, because she is hoping that people will vote for her.

Explanation:

Altruism is when you do something for others and have very little expectation of getting something in return. In this case, Janetta expected something in return from her friends. We may not also be sure of the sincerity of Janetta appreciating friendship. From the above definition of altruism, we conclude that Janetta's actions are not altruistic because she hoped that people will vote for her.
