A ship of mass \(3 \times 10^{7} \, \text{kg}\) initially at rest is pulled by a force of \(5 \times 10^{4} \, \mathrm{N}\) through a distance of 3 m. Assume that the resistance due to water is negligible, the speed of the ship is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
\(v^{2} = 2as = 2 \left(\frac{F}{m}\right) s\) \(\left[ Asu = 0 \right]\)
⇒ ⇒ \(v^{2} = 2 \left( \frac{5 \times 10^{4}}{3 \times 10^{7}} \right) \times 3 = \frac{1}{100}\)
⇒ ⇒ \(v = 0.1 \, m/s\)
