Question
An iceboat is at rest on a frictionless frozen lake when a sudden wind exerts a constant force of 200 N, toward the east, on the boat. Due to the angle of the sail, the wind causes the boat to slide in a straight line for a distance of 8.0 m in a direction \(20^{\circ}\) north of east. What is the kinetic energy of the iceboat at the end of that 8.0 m?
