Given:
The mass of the ferryboat is m = 1500 kg
The momentum of the boat is p = 25000 kg. m/s
To find the speed of the ferryboat.
Explanation:
The speed of the ferryboat can be calculated by the formula
[tex]\begin{gathered} p=mv \\ v=\frac{p}{m} \end{gathered}[/tex]On substituting the values, the speed of the ferryboat will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} v=\frac{25000}{1500} \\ =16.67\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the speed of the ferryboat is 16.67 m/s
