Car Catapult

Shipbuilders test a launch system for U.S. Navy aircraft by catapulting car-like vehicles into the James River in Virginia. The vehicles, weighing up to 80,000 pounds (36,000 kg), are accelerated to more than 150 miles per hour (67 m/s) as a test of the electromagnetic (EM) aircraft launch system, flying over the bow of aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy before hitting the water 20 meters below. The cars are then retrieved and relaunched to continue testing the.

Given that the vehicles are accelerated through a distance of approximately 90 meters via the EM aircraft launch system, determine

(a) the average size of the force on the vehicles by the electromagnetic aircraft launch system, and

(b) how far from the base of the aircraft carrier the vehicle strikes the water 20 m below.
