Chapter 8, Problem 3(choose chapter or problem)
Problem 3PE
(a) At what speed would a 2.00×104 -kg airplane have to fly to have a momentum of 1.60×109 kg · m/s (the same as the ship’s momentum in the problem above)? (b) What is the plane’s momentum when it is taking off at a speed of 60.0 m/s ? (c) If the ship is an aircraft carrier that launches these airplanes with a catapult, discuss the implications of your answer to (b) as it relates to recoil effects of the catapult on the ship.
