Answer:

Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat

Explanation:

Work: This is defined as the product of force and distance, the S.I unit of work is Joules. At any point in science, during calculation Energy and worked can be interchange because they have the same unit.

E = W = 1/2mv²................ Equation 1

Where E = energy, W = work, m = mass, v = velocity.

Given: m = 900 kg, v = 1.6 m/s

Substituting these values into equation 1

W = 1/2(900)(1.6)²

W = 450×2.56

W = 1152 J.

Therefore Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat

What is the acceleration of a ball traveling horizontally with an initial velocity of 20 meters/second and, 2.0 seconds later, a
Nutka1998 [239]

The acceleration of the ball is 5 m/s^2. This can be calculated using a formula that relates the change in velocity, acceleration, and time. This formula is:

Vf = Vi + at

where:
Vf = final velocity
Vi = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

Substituting the values gives:

30 = 20 + a(2)
<span>a = 5 m/s^2 --> Final Answer</span>
