Homework Statement
1.If the ship has a mass of 2.5 x 10^7 kg calculate the magnitude of the force acting on the ship during the deceleration.
I was trying to work that out using f=ma but that would
Make the force negative , is that possible
2. What is the nature of the force acting on the ship which leads to the deceleratipn and how does it cause the ship to slow down?
Could someone please explain how to do this one please and I also have no idea what "nature of a force" is
3. What is the main energy change as the ship slows down
Is the answer from kinetic to potential?
