Answer:
2 /s north
Explanation:
Given that,
Velocity due North is 8 m/s and due south is 6 m/s
We need to find the magnitude and the direction of the resulting velocity.
Let North is positive and South is negative. When two velocities are in opposite direction, they adds up. So,

It is positive. So, it is in North direction.
Answer: 60mph
Explanation:
Given the following :
First leg travel:
Distance = 30 miles
Time of travel= 30 minutes = 0.5 hour
Second leg travel:
Distance = 60 miles
Time of travel = one hour
Average speed :
Speed = total Distance / time of travel
Total distance in miles = (30 + 60) miles = 90 miles
Total time of travel = 1 hour + 0.5 hour = 1.5 hours
Average speed = total distance traveled / total travel time
Average speed = 90 miles / 1.5 hours
Average speed = 60 miles / hour
= 60mph
The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is

After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is

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:

where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.
I believe it is lithosphere
