It doesn't matter what the object's initial velocity is, or how long
the acceleration lasts. All that matters is the object's mass and
acceleration.
Force = (mass) x (acceleration) =
(5kg) x (15 m/s²) =
75 kg-m/s² = <em>75 newtons .</em>
Let the rescue boat starts at an angle theta with the North
now its velocity towards East is given as


now in some time "t" it will catch the boy
so we will have

also we have

now we have



by solving above we got

The answer is it will supply 1.1 x 10⁹ J of energy each second.
we can calculate this by using the following equation;
P = W/t
<span>W = P x t
</span><span>and by work energy relation;
E = W = P x t
</span>1 watt = 1j/s
1megawatt = 1000000 = 10⁶ j/s
<span>E = 1100 x 106 x 1 </span>
E = 1.1 x 10⁹ J
