Imagine you're enjoying your summer cruise through The Bahamas, soaking up the sun and sipping on a tropical drink. Suddenly, out of the crystalclear water emerges a giant stop sign, as if Poseidon himself decided to regulate maritime traffic. Your boat needs to stop but there's a perplexing dilemma – you realize your boat doesn't have brakes! In this exploration of naval engineering and physics, we dive into the unique challenges posed by the open seas and the reasons ships can't come to a sudden halt like land vehicles. From the vast oceans to the intricate mechanics of vessels, discover the science behind the absence of brakes on ships and the ingenious solutions employed to navigate the waterways safely.
