A motorboat travels directly east. During its trip, winds blow from directly north, directly south, and southwest. Which of the following statements is true? A. All of the winds do work on the boat. B. Only the north wind does work on the boat. C. Only the south wind does work on the boat. D. Only the southwest wind does work on the boat.



Answer :

D. Only the southwest wind does work on the boat. This is because the North and South winds are opposite each other and hence cancel each other out so work is not done.
