Answer

$v = 1.9~mm/s$

Work Step by Step

We can use Equation (33-28) to find the speed attained by the ship: $\Delta p = \frac{\Delta U}{c}$ $Mv = \frac{P~t}{c}$ $v = \frac{P~t}{M~c}$ $v = \frac{(10\times 10^3~W)(24)(3600~s)}{(1.5\times 10^3~kg)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)}$ $v = 1.9\times 10^{-3}~m/s$ $v = 1.9~mm/s$
