The braking force is -400 N
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the impulse theorem, which states that the impulse applied on the ferry (the product of force and time) is equal to its change in momentum:
where in this problem, we have:
F is the force applied by the brakes
is the time interval
m = 13,000 kg is the mass of the ferry
u = 2.0 m/s is the initial velocity
v = 0 is the final velocity
And solving for F, we find the force applied by the brakes:
where the negative sign indicates that the direction is backward.
