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
Earth's atmosphere blocks many types of light including gamma, x-rays most ultraviolet and infrared. So optical telescopes that use visible light and ultraviolet telescopes that are used to study very hot stars are much less effective on Earth.
