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.
Answer:
(a) 490 N on earth
(b) 80 N on earth
(c) 45.4545 kg on earth
(d) 270.27 kg on moon
Explanation:
We have given 1 kg = 9.8 N = 2.2 lbs on earth
And 1 kg = 1.6 N = 0.37 lbs on moon
(a) We have given mass of the person m = 50 kg
As it is given that 1 kg = 9.8 N
So 50 kg = 50×9.8 =490 N
(b) Mass of the person on moon = 50 kg
As it is given that on moon 1 kg = 1.6 N
So 50 kg = 50×1.6 = 80 N
(c) We have given that weight of the person on the earth = 100 lbs
As it is given that 1 kg = 2.2 lbs on earth
So 100 lbs = 45.4545 kg
(d) We have given weight of the person on moon = 100 lbs
As it is given that 1 kg = 0.37 lbs
So 100 lbs 
Possible Solutions to the Problem of Global Energy Crisis:
1. Move Towards Renewable Resources.
2. Buy Energy-Efficient Products.
Answer:
-v/2
Explanation:
Given that:
- Collides with the wall going through a sliding motion on on the plane smooth surface.
- Upon rebounding from the wall its kinetic energy becomes one-fourth of the initial kinetic energy before collision.
<u>We know, kinetic energy is given as:</u>
consider this to be the initial kinetic energy of the body.
<u>Now after collision:</u>
Considering that the mass of the body remains constant before and after collision.
Therefore the velocity of the body after collision will become half of the initial velocity but its direction is also reversed which can be denoted by a negative sign.
