    A ship of mass \[3\times {{10}^{7}}\] kg, initially at rest, is pulled by a force of \[5\times {{10}^{4}}\] N through a distance of 3 m. Assuming that the resistance due to water is negligible, the speed of the ship is

    A)  1.5 m/s        

    B)  60 m/s

    C)  0.1 m/s         

    D)  5 m/s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Force,   F = ma                 \[\upsilon =\frac{F}{m}=\frac{5\times {{10}^{4}}}{3\times {{10}^{7}}}m/{{s}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a=\frac{5}{3}\times {{10}^{-3}}m/{{s}^{2}}\] Since,    \[{{v}^{2}}-{{u}^{2}}=2as\]                 \[{{v}^{2}}-0=2\times \frac{5}{3}\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 3\]                 \[{{v}^{2}}={{10}^{-2}}\] v = 0.1m/s
