Determine how long will it take the tanker

Reference no: EM13709183

Problem: The motion of a very massive object can be minimally affected by what would seem to be a substantial force. Consider a supertanker, with a mass of 3.0 x 108kg. Suppose you strapped two jet engines (thrust force of a small jet engine is 50,000 N) onto the sides of the tanker.

Part A: 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 cruising speed of 6.0 m/s?

t=___h

I want help to find how long will it take the tanker, starting from rest and express your answer to two significant figures.
