The motion of a very massive object can be minimally affected by what would seem to be a substantial force. Consider a supermarket, with a mass of 3.2 x 10^8 kg. suppose you strapped two jet engines (thrust force of a small jet engine is 50000 N) onto the sides of the tanker. Ignoring the drag of the water (which, in reality, is not a very good approximation), how long will it take the tanker, starting from rest, to reach a typical crushing speed of 6.0 m/s?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5.3 hours

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration

m = Mass

Force

[tex]F=2T\\\Rightarrow F=2\times 50000\\\Rightarrow F=100000\ N[/tex]

The force generated by the jet engines is 100000 N

From Newton's Second law

[tex]F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{100000}{3.2\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow a=0.0003125\ m/s^2[/tex]

Equation of motion

[tex]v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{6-0}{0.0003125}\\\Rightarrow t=19200\ s=\frac{19200}{3600}=5.3\ hours[/tex]

It will take 5.3 hours to reach a speed of 6 m/s

The time taken will be "5.3 hours".

Force and mass

According to the question,

Final velocity, v = 6.0 m/s

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Mass, m = 3.2 x 10⁸ kg

We know that,

Force, F = 2T

By substituting the values,

              = 2 x 50000

              = 100000 N

By using Newton's Second law,

→ F = ma

or,

→ a = [tex]\frac{F}{m}[/tex]

     = [tex]\frac{100000}{3.2\times 10^8}[/tex]

     = 0.0003125 m/s²

By using Equation of motion,

→ v = u + at

Time taken, t = [tex]\frac{v-u}{a}[/tex]

                       = [tex]\frac{6-0}{0.0003125}[/tex]

                       = 19200 s or,

                       = 5.3 hours

Thus the above response is correct.
