Answer:
Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat
Explanation:
Work: This is defined as the product of force and distance, the S.I unit of work is Joules. At any point in science, during calculation Energy and worked can be interchange because they have the same unit.
E = W = 1/2mv²................ Equation 1
Where E = energy, W = work, m = mass, v = velocity.
Given: m = 900 kg, v = 1.6 m/s
Substituting these values into equation 1
W = 1/2(900)(1.6)²
W = 450×2.56
W = 1152 J.
Therefore Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat
