The amount of work which Sam does need to stop the boat is 784Joule if boat mass is 800kg and boat drift in 1.4m/sec.
We know that according to work-energy theorem, change in kinetic energy of the body from one speed to another is equivalent to amount of work done by all forces acting on the body.
So, here we can see that final speed of boat is =0m/sec since Sam need to stop it.
Initial speed of boat is 1.4m/sec.
Also, we know that kinetic energy is given by the below formula:
Kinetic energy=(1/2)mv²
where m is the mass of the body
and v is the speed of the body
Now, from work energy theorem, we get
=>W=(1/2)m - (1/2)m
=>W=0-(1/2)×800×(1.4)²
=>W= - 400× 1.4 × 1.4
=>W = -400×1.96
=>W= -784Joule
Here negative sign denotes work has to done against the original motion of boat.
Hence, amount of work needs to be done by Sam is 784Joule.
