Eli and Sandra are sailing in the Atlantic Ocean. Eli claims that the sailboat’s motion is based on kinetic energy being transferred to the sailboat and that the motion of the sailboat is impacted by the kinetic energy that is added or removed from the sailboat. Which three statements best support Eli’s claim? a. People walking on the deck of the sailboat transfer energy to the sailboat and cause the boat to slow down. b. Waves hit the side of the boat, which transfers energy to the boat and causes it to slow down. c. When rain pours straight down on the boat, kinetic energy is transferred to the sailboat and the boat increases its speed. d. Kinetic energy is transferred to the boat when wind hits the sail and causes it to speed up. e. Using the rudder (the underwater movable fin) to turn the sailboat to the right causes it to lose kinetic energy as it slows down and turns.
