The work that is required to increase the speed to 16 knots is 14,176.47 Joules
If a catamaran with a mass of 5.44×10^3 kg is moving at 12 knots, hence;
5.44×10^3 kg = 12 knots
For an increased speed to 16knots, we will have:
x = 16knots
Divide both expressions
To get the required work done, we will divide the mass by the speed of one knot to have:
Hence the work that is required to increase the speed to 16 knots is 14,176.47 Joules

Answer:
b) 5 J
Explanation:
Work is the energy transferred by an object when acted by a force along a displacement. Work is the product of force and displacement. The SI unit of work is the joules (J)
To calculate the work done by the force, we have to first get the displacement (D) of the object. Hence:
Displacement (D) = Q(3, 8) - P(1, 3) = (3 - 1, 8 - 3) = (2, 5) = 2i + 5j
The work done is the dot product of the force and the displacement. Force = 5i - j. Hence:
Work done = (5i - j)(2i + 5j) = 10 - 5 = 5 J
