Modern oil tankers weigh more than a half-million tons and have lengths of up to one-fourth mile. Such massive ships require a distance of 5.0 km (about 3.0 mi) and a time of 20 min to come to a stop from a top speed of 30 km/h.
(a) What is the magnitude of such a ship’s average acceleration in m/s2 in coming to a stop?
(b) What is the magnitude of the ship’s average velocity in m/s? Comment on the potential of a tanker running aground.
