Question

Allure of the seas is one of the most expensive cruise ships around the world with a length of 362 meters(1,187 ft) and a height of 72 meters(236 ft) above water line. On her first day of operation she moves with a uniform acceleration of 83.5 km/hr2 from rest has gone 10 nautical miles. How many seconds she is in motion? Note: 1 nautical mile = 1.852 km (help 3 mins left​

Answer 1

Answer:

  about 2398 seconds

Explanation:

The relation between time, distance, and acceleration is ...

  d = (1/2)at²

  t = √(2d/a) = √(2·10·1.852 km/(83.5 km/h²)) ≈ √0.4436 h ≈ 0.6660 h

That is about ...

  (0.6660 h)(3600 s/h) ≈ 2397.7 s

The cruise ship takes about 2397.7 seconds to cruise 10 nautical miles, accelerating all the way.
