The work should be at least equivalent to the kinetic energy possessed by the boat and its riders. The formula for kinetic energy is written below:
W = KE
W = 1/2*mv²
W = 1/2*(1,000 kg)(1.3 m/s)²
<em>W = 845 J</em>
Inertia is that quantity which depends solely upon mass. The more mass, the more inertia. Momentum is another quantity in Physics which depends on both mass and speed.
