What forces are at work on a moving sailboat?
On a moving sailboat, the main forces at work are the wind pushing against the sails (propelling the boat forward) and the water resistance as the boat moves through the water. The interaction of these forces helps control the direction and speed of the sailboat. Additionally, gravity and buoyancy also play a role in keeping the boat stable and balanced.
