The engine of a moving boat is turned off. Which two forces cause the boat to slow down and stop?
- A Air resistance and weight resistance
- B Air resistance and water resistance
- C Upthrust and water resistance
- D Weight resistance and water resistance
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
When the engine of a moving boat is turned off, the boat slows down and stops due to the forces of air resistance and water resistance. Air resistance is the force exerted by the air on the boat as it moves through the atmosphere, which opposes its motion and causes it to slow down. Water resistance is the force exerted by the water on the boat, which also opposes its motion and further contributes to its deceleration. Together, these two forces act against the boat's forward motion, eventually bringing it to a stop.
