E The ship was traveling at 2.5 m/s toward the reef when a mechanical failure caused the rudder to jam in the straight-ahead position. At that point in time, the ship was 900 m from the reef. The wind was blowing directly toward the reef and exerting a constant force of 9.00 x 10' N on the boat in a direction toward the reef. The mass of the ship and its cargo was 5.50 x 10' kg. During the preparation for the trial, the captain claims that without control of the direction of travel, the only choice he had was to put the engines in reverse at maximum power, such that the total force exerted by the frictional drag force of the water on the propeller was 1.25 x 10 N in a direction away from the reef. From this information, construct a convincing argument that nothing the captain could do in this situation could have prevented the ship from striking the reef.

E The ship was traveling at 2.5 m/s toward the reef when a mechanical failure
caused the rudder to jam in the straight-ahead position. At that point in time, the ship
was 900 m from the reef. The wind was blowing directly toward the reef and exerting
a constant force of 9.00 x 10' N on the boat in a direction toward the reef. The mass
of the ship and its cargo was 5.50 x 10' kg. During the preparation for the trial, the
captain claims that without control of the direction of travel, the only choice he had
was to put the engines in reverse at maximum power, such that the total force exerted
by the frictional drag force of the water on the propeller was 1.25 x 10 N in a direction
away trom the reef. From this information, construct a convincing argument that
nothing the captain could do in this situation could have prevented the ship from
