Answer:

Time = 40 s

It will take the spaceship 40s to coast that distance.

Explanation:

Using the impulse momentum equation;

Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = m(∆v) ........1

Given;

Force F = 1200kN

time of action t = 20s

Mass of spaceship m = 8.0×10^4 kg

∆v = change in velocity

Substituting the values into equation 1;

1200kN × 20s =8.0×10^4 kg × ∆v

∆v = 1200000×20/80000

∆v = 300 m/s

Since it was initially at rest, V0 = 0

Final velocity V2 = 300 + 0

V2 = 300m/s

Time To travel 12 km,

Time = distance/speed

Distance = 12 km = 12000m

Speed = 300m/s

Time = 12000/300

Time = 40 s

It will take the spaceship 40s to coast that distance.

A 1502.7 kg car is traveling at 33.1 m/s when
Bond [772]

By definition of average acceleration,

<em>a</em> = (20 m/s - 33.1 m/s) / (4.7 s) ≈ -2.78 m/s²

Vertically, the car is in equilibrium, so the net force is equal to the friction force in the direction opposite the car's motion:

∑ <em>F</em> = (1502.7 kg) (-2.78 m/s²) ≈ -4188.38 N ≈ -4200 N

If you just want the magnitude, drop the negative sign.
