You understand the concepts all perfectly fine, just have applied them slightly incorrectly.
Firstly, the speed time graph is actually a triangle since the question says a steady acceleration from rest - i.e. it started at 0 and worked up to 2ms-1 in the space of that 10 seconds. The area under the graph is the distance, and a triangle area is found with bh/2, and in this case that is 10*2/2 = 10m - so the boat travelled 10 metres.

Work done as you correctly stated is fd - giving the part against water resistance as 3*10 = 30J
However, you forgot to do the last part - the key words are rate of work - this means Power. Power is Energy/Time, and this whole process occurred over 10 seconds. So whilst 30J of energy were expended due to the water resistance, this didn't all occur in no time. So we need to divide that by 10 to get the power. And 30/10 is 3J/s - and J/s is the same as W.

(Fill the blank) the ________ g____ makes saliva that make your food wet and easy to swallow

Answer:

What make saliva that make your food wet and easy to swallow?

enzyme amylase

Explanation:

The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.

The main advantage banking services offer is?

KATRIN_1 [288]

In short, and in general:

Advantages

Credit Unions typically pay higher dividend rates on savingsCredit Unions typically offer lower rates on loansCredit Unions typically provide better service; since they are owned and governed by their membership, they tend to prioritize the needs of their members above all elseCredit Unions operate on a not-for-profit business model, so excess earnings are returned back to the membership in form of competitive rates and lower fees, and sometimes even special dividendsMany Credit Unions offer the same products and services found at banksCredit Unions often have added-value benefits, such as free financial education, discounted theme park tickets, and special member rates for services such as home alarm systems...even discounts at online retailers like Barnes & Noble.Disadvantages

Credit Unions, and in particular smaller local credit unions, struggle to match the level of convenience (ATMs and branches) that many banks provide their customers, although many CUs are part of shared networks which enhance the breadth of delivery channels available to their membersSome Credit Unions are limited in their product offeringsOne must qualify for membership One must pay a membership fee to join. hope this helps!
