Which outcome results when a Viking longship exceeds hull speed?

💡 Explanation

Wave-making drag increases non-linearly with speed because the hull's bow wave interferes with its stern wave, creating a larger pressure differential. Therefore, wave-making drag increases dramatically, rather than a linear increase, limiting effective speed.
