5 Stars(1 user)

The propellers of a ship of mass m can produce a propulsive force F0; they produce a force of the same magnitude but opposite direction when the engines are reversed. Knowing that the ship was proceeding forward at its maximum speed v0 when the engines were put into reverse, determine the distance the ship travels before coming to a stop. Assume that the frictional resistance of the water varies directly with the square of the velocity.
