So,
GPE (graviational potential energy) = mass x g x height
GPE is depends on where zero height is defined. In this situation, we define h = 0 as the initial height.



The builder has gained 18.375 kJ of PE.
Answer:External forces are forces caused by external agent outside of the system. Internal forces are forces exchanged by the objects in the system.
Explanation:or our purposes, we will simply say that external forces include the applied force, normal force, tension force, friction force, and air resistance force. And for our purposes, the internal forces include the gravity forces, magnetic force, electrical force, and spring force.HOPE THIS HELPS!!! ^w^

Let vb be the velocity of the motorboat and let vs be the velocity of the stream.
We know that when she drives upstream the velocity is 8 m/s, in this scenario the velocities point in opposite directions, then we have the equations:

When she drives downstream the velocites point in the same direction then we have the equation:

hence we have the system of equations:

Solving the first equation for the velocity of the boat we have:

Plugging this in the second equation we have:

Therefore, the velocity of the stream is 2 m/s
