🔍 Key Concepts

• Stopping distance components of a vessel (head reach vs. transfer) • What happens after engines are put to stop or full astern • Difference between speed, distance, and change of speed

💭 Think About

• Think about what you are actually MEASURING when you talk about stopping distance: is it speed, change in speed, or distance traveled? • Imagine you put engines to stop at a given speed in open water—what do mariners need to know about how far ahead the vessel will still move? • Ask yourself which option describes a DISTANCE in the ahead direction during stopping, rather than a speed or a difference in speeds.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options describe distance traveled versus those that describe speed or change of speed • Check which choice clearly begins at the moment you take action to stop and ends when the vessel is no longer making way through the water • Make sure the definition you choose would be useful for manoeuvring and stopping-distance calculations on a large ship.
