Question

A longer time and a greater force is required to make a moving ship
come to rest than the time and force required to stop a heavy truck on
the road. Why? PLS ANSWER

Answer 1

A moving ship has greater mass than the moving truck. Since the inertia of a body increases with the increase in it's mass, the ship has greater inertia than the truck.

Therefore,a greater force and longer time is required to bring the ship to rest.
