3. A 3.6*107 kg 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 1.5 m/s. Realizing the danger, the engines are thrown into full reverse. The engines can produce a backwards thrust of 8.0*104 N. 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? O moters it is traveling at v=0.17 m/s
