Question

A cruise ship with a mass of 1.00×107 kg strikes a pier at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It comes to rest 6.00 m later, damaging the ship, the pier, and the tugboat captain’s finances. Calculate the average force exerted on the pier using the concept of impulse. (Hint: First calculate the time it took to bring the ship to rest.)

Solution

Step-by-step solution In this problem a cruise ship with certain mass strikes a pier than after certain distance it comes to rest .Now, calculate the average force exerted on the pier using the concept of impulse. Step 1 of 6 The expression of exerted force is: …… (1) Here, is the mass of the ship, is the change in velocity and is the time space.
