Answer:

Time = 4.1 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum = mv = (12000)(4.25) = 51000 kg m/s

Momentum = Impulse (mv = ft) so

51000 = (9200)t

t = (51000)/(9200) = 5.54 seconds

Impulse of the current and the engine must equal so (ft = ft)

51000 = (12500)t

t = (51000)/(12500) = 4.08

But accounting for significant figures, time equals 4.1 seconds
