Use the values RE = 6370 km = 3960 mi for the radius of the earth
The aircraft carrier Nimitz weighs 91,000 tons. (A ton is 2000 lb.) Suppose that it is traveling at its top speed of approximately 30 knots (a knot is 6076 ft/h) when its engines are shut down. If the water exerts a drag force of magnitude 20.000v lb, where v is the carrier’s velocity in feet per second, what distance does the carrier move before coming to rest?
