(1) The force of the hockey puck is 6.3 N.
(2) The speed of the jet engine after 1.5 s 20.63 m/s and after 3 it is 41.25 m/s.
(3) The final velocity of the loaded barge is 2.92 m/s.
(4) The thrust applied by the engine 600,000 N.
The force of the hockey puck is calculated as follows;
F = ma
F = mv/t
F = 0.105 x (15 - 12)/0.05
F = 6.3 N
F = mv/t
mv = Ft
v = Ft/m
Velocity after 1.5 s
v = (5500 x 1.5)/400
v = 20.63 m/s
Velocity after 3 s = 2v = 41.25 m/s
F = m(v - u)/t
m(u - v) = Ft
u - v = Ft/m
u - v = (12000 x 10)/1500000
u - v = 0.08
v = u - 0.08
v = 3 - 0.08
v = 2.92 m/s
F = m(v - u)/t
F = 480,000(30 - 15)/12
F = 600,000 N
