a supertanker with a mass of 5.0 x 10 to the 8th power kg accelerates from rest to a speed of 10 m/s in a time of 1000s. what is its average acceleration? how much force is required to accelerate the supertanker?
change of speed=10m/s
acceleration=changespeed/time
Force? Ignoring water resistance?
Force=mass*acceleration
