If I did this right, and I haven't done a question like this lately, I got 20,000m (using g = 10 m/s^2) as for how long the aircraft carrier would have to be if the only thing to slow the aircraft down was the friction between its wheels and the carrier deck. This is why the use of a tailhook is vital to stopping the plane in time.
Hope I did it right.
