Question 9

A scientific research drone of mass 32 kg is performing a docking maneuver at an asteroid base. Upon contact with the electromagnetic braking grid, the drone is brought to a complete stop in 90 milliseconds90\text{ milliseconds}90 milliseconds. During this arrestment, the grid exerts an average retarding force of 4.8 kN4.8\text{ kN}4.8 kN on the drone.
