Moving ship take much time to stop than a car because the MASS of the ship is more than the car so due to large momentum of ship when break applies on it it takes more time to momentum come on zero compare to a car.

Answer: hope it helps
Explanation: Because the ship has a much greater mass and therefore more momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. In order to change an object's momentum, you have to apply a force for a certain amount of time. If you apply the same braking force to a car and to a ship for the same amount of time, both vehicles will lose the same amount of momentum, but because of the ship's greater mass, it won't slow down as much as the car.
