The acceleration of Odysseus' ship as it moves across the water from Troy to Ithaca is 0.33m/s²
Given the data in the question;
- Mass of Odysseus' ship; [tex]m= 900000kg[/tex]
- Force with which Odysseus' ship moves across the water; [tex]F = 300000N[/tex]
- Acceleration; [tex]a = ?[/tex]
To determine the acceleration of the ship, We the equation from Newton's Second Law of Motion:
[tex]F = m\ *\ a[/tex]
Where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration
Lets make acceleration ''a'', the subject of the formula
[tex]a = \frac{F}{m}[/tex]
Now, we substitute our given values into the equation
[tex]a = \frac{300000N}{900000kg}[/tex]
We know that, A newton is defined as [tex]1 kg.m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]a = \frac{300000 kg.m/s^2}{900000kg} \\\\a = 0.33m/s^2[/tex]
Therefore, the acceleration of Odysseus' ship as it moves across the water from Troy to Ithaca is 0.33m/s²
