The work that is required to increase the speed to 16 knots is 14,176.47 Joules
If a catamaran with a mass of 5.44×10^3 kg is moving at 12 knots, hence;
5.44×10^3 kg = 12 knots
For an increased speed to 16knots, we will have:
x = 16knots
Divide both expressions

To get the required work done, we will divide the mass by the speed of one knot to have:

Hence the work that is required to increase the speed to 16 knots is 14,176.47 Joules

Answer:
d = 69 .57 meter
Explanation:
First case
Speed of car ( v ) = 20.5 mi/h = 9.164 M/S
distance ( d ) = 11.6 meter ( m = mass of the car )
Work done = 0.5 m v² = 0.5 * 9.164² * m J = 41.99 m J
Force = ( workdone /distance ) = ( 41.99 m / 11.6 ) = 3.619 m N
Second case
v = 50.2 mi/h = 22.44135 m/s
d = ?
Work done = 0.5 * 22.44² * m J = 251.7768 * m J
Since the braking force remains the same .
3.619 m = ( 251.7768 m / d )
d = 69 .57 meter
