Question: 5 . A BC Ferry ( m = 1 3 0 0 0 . 0 tonnes ) is traveling at 1 1 m / s

5. A BC Ferry (m =13000.0 tonnes) is traveling at 11 m/s when the engines are put in reverse. The engines produce a force of 1.0 x 10^6 N for a period of 20.0 seconds. a. What is the magnitude of the impulse from the engine? What will be it's direction (positive or negative?) b. What is the new momentum of the ferry? c. What is the new velocity of the ferry? (please clarify the difference between kg and tonnes when answering)
