Answer
given,
time = 10 s
ship's speed = 5 Km/h
F = m a
a is the acceleration and m is mass.
In the first case
F₁=m x a₁
where a₁ = difference in velocity / time
F₁ is constant acceleration is also a constant.
Δv₁ = 5 x 0.278
Δv₁ = 1.39 m/s
a₁ = 0.139 m/s²
F₂ =m x a₂
F₃ = F₂ + F₁
Δv₃ = 19 x 0.278
Δv₃ = 5.282 m/s
a₃=Δv₂ / t
a₃ = 0.5282 m²/s
m a₃=m a₁ + m a₂
a₃ = a₂ + a₁
0.5282 = a₂ + 0.139
a₂=0.3892 m²/s
F₂ = m x 0.3892...........(1)
F₁ = m x 0.139...............(2)
F₂/F₁
ratio =
ratio = 2.8
Despite current has a magnitude and a direction, like vectors, it is a scalar because it doesn't obey laws of vector addition. For instance, if we consider a junction of 
in a circuit, and two currents entering this junction, we know that the resultant current is just the algebraic sum of the two currents, not the vector sum, so it is not a vector quantity.
