Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of Millersburg Ferry, m = 13000 kg
Velocity, v = 11 m/s
Applied force, F = 10⁶ N
Time period, t = 20 seconds
(a) Impulse is given by the product of force and time taken i.e.



(b) Impulse is also given by the change in momentum i.e.





(c) For new velocity,



Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer: 1.95
Explanation:
You should start off from the decay formula and solve for τ:


Apply inverse logarithmic function:

The final form will be:

Inputing values for I, IO, and t:
