Answer:
Explanation:
Initial momentum is 1.5e6(3) = 4.5e6 kg•m/s
An impulse results in a change of momentum
The tug applied impulse is 12000(10) = 120000 N•s or 0.12e6 kg•m/s
The remaining momentum is 4.5e6 - 0.12e6 = 4.38e6 kg•m/s
The barge velocity is now 4.38e6 / 1.5e6 = 2.92 m/s
The tug applies 0.012e6 N•s of impulse each second.
The initial barge momentum will be zero in
t = 4.5e6 / 0.012e6 = 375 s or 6 minutes and 15 seconds
To stop the barge in one minute(60 s), the tug would have to apply
4.5e6 / 60 = 75000 N•s /s or 75 000 N
