Thank you for pointing out the momentum, p, of this vessel. The force, f, required to resist this momentum is exponential, f=1/2mv². V² of 2mph is 4. V² of 9 mph is 81.

Technically the 1/2mv^2 is the kinetic energy not the force. In simplistic terms the force is the rate of change of work which is essentially the change in mechanical energy.
