What's the impact force of 400,000 tonnes at 10KTS? Against a stationary object.....

Any freeper engineers out there?

I just do electrical calculations and conduit bends.

= = =

Momentum = M x V (which will be big, in this case)

And to stop the ship, an opposing MV is needed, so the MV sum = 0.

F=MA

Force= Mass x Acceleration
