A cruise ship can accelerate at 0.01 m/s2, if it starts from rest how long does it take
to reach a speed of 25 km/h? How long would it take if it started from a speed of
2.0 m/s?

Answer:

t = 8.24 [min]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

[tex]v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t[/tex]

where:

Vf = final velocity = 25 [km/h]

Vo = initial velocity = 2 [m/s]

a = acceleration = 0.01 [m/s²]

t = time [s]

Now we must convert the speed from kilometers per hour to meters per second.

[tex]25[\frac{km}{h} ]*[\frac{1h}{3600s}]*[\frac{1000m}{1km} ]=6.94[m/s][/tex]

Now replacing:

[tex]6.94=2+0.01*t\\t=494 [s]\\or\\t=8.24[min][/tex]
