Hello,

I have got the following physics problem.

Boat's engine during 1 second can give speed v to L litres of water. What is the maximum speed of boat, if its mass is equal to M?

Could anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

L litres of water have mass L too.

momentum is always conserved

momentum of water is equals to that of the boat

Lv(water) = Mv(boat)

v(boat) = Lv(water)/M

What does liters of water have to do with the engine and the boat's speed?

I genuinely have forgotten the precise technique to do the situation. although the smaller vessel would desire to have a smaller perspective from the today line of commute of the vessel being towed. the perspective is shaped from the axis it is the meant path of commute. . The smaller tow would desire to drag in a path closer that projected path than the extra beneficial tow boat. the perspective would desire to be much less for the smaller boat. i'm hoping this helped ?
