Answer:
A
Explanation:
It is less than the acceleration of the backpack because abs has a greater mass.
Answer:
1.11 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the boat is an example of accelerated motion, since the velocity is not constant. However, we don't need to find the acceleration, because we are only interested in the average velocity of the boat, which is given by:

where d is the total distance covered and t the time taken. In this problem, the boat covered a distance of d = 20 m and it takes t = 18 s, therefore the average velocity is

Missing part in the text of the problem:
"<span>Water is exposed to infrared radiation of wavelength 3.0×10^−6 m"</span>
First we can calculate the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of the water, which is given by

where
m=1.8 g is the mass of the water

is the specific heat capacity of the water

is the increase in temperature.
Substituting the data, we find

We know that each photon carries an energy of

where h is the Planck constant and f the frequency of the photon. Using the wavelength, we can find the photon frequency:

So, the energy of a single photon of this frequency is

and the number of photons needed is the total energy needed divided by the energy of a single photon:
