A.1.6—Uniform acceleration equations question 1
[Maximum number: 2]
This question is in two parts. Part 1 is about the motion of a ship. Part 2 is about melting ice.
The ship's engines are switched off and the ship comes to rest from a speed of 7 m s−1 in a time of 650 s .
Estimate the distance that the ship takes to stop. Assume that the acceleration is uniform.
correct substitution of 7 or 7.2 into appropriate kinematic equation; an answer in the range of 2200 to 2400 m ;
