    Calculating Impact Force and oil well tree

    I was wondering if anybody could help me. I need to calculate the impact force exerted on an rov if it collides with a oil well tree. The information I have are the mass of the rov = 500 kg, initial velocity othe rov is 1.5 m/s and the oil well tree is a fixed body. I am unsure how to calculate...

    Moon Stopping Velocity & Impact Force: How Long Would It Take?

    If the moon was to be stopped, what would its velocity be just before hitting the earth? Also, if you could throw in the force of the impact, that would be great too. And another thing, how long would it take?
