    Answer:

    W = 1014 J = 1.014 KJ

    Explanation:

    As, Sam has to stop the boats in the log ride. Therefore, the work Sam needs to do, in order to stop a boat must be equal to the kinetic energy of the boat:

    Work Done by Sam = Kinetic Energy of the Boat

    W = K.E

    W = (1/2)mv²

    where,

    m = mass of boat and its rider = 1200 kg

    v = speed of the boat = 1.3 m/s

    Therefore,

    W = (1/2)(1200 kg)(1.3 m/s)²

    W = 1014 J = 1.014 KJ
