Expert Solution
Analysis

Given: Mass of boat = 490 kg 

Speed = 6.1 m/s

To find : Kinetic energy

Solution  : There is a relationship  between kinetic energy,  mass and velocity. The relationship is shown below : 

K. E = ( 1/2 ) mv2

Where m is mass

v is velocity 

K.E is kinetic energy

Total energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
