3. A 3.6**107kg mass oil tanker finds itself heading straight for a reef that is 500 meters in front of it. At this point it is traveling towards the reef at 1.5ms. Realizing the danger, the engines are thrown into full reverse. The engines can produce a backwards thrust of 8.0**104N. What will be the impact speed of the ship? If it can stop in time, how close will it approach the reef before increasing the gap?
