"Frequency" just means "often-ness" ... how often something happens.
It's always expressed as
<em>(number of happenings) / (some period of time) .</em>
Wouldn't mass stay the same and acceleration increase or am I mistaken?
part 1
mass = ρ x V
mass = 1739 kg/m³ x 3.8 km³ = 6608.2 kg
PE (potential energy)= mgh
PE = 6608.2 kg x 9.81 x 403
PE = 2.61 x 10⁷ J
part 2
megaton of TNT (Mt) =4.2 x 10¹⁵ J
convert PE to Mt:
2.61 x 10⁷ J : 4.2 x 10¹⁵ J = 6.21 x 10⁻⁹ Mt
An object's momentum is the product of its mass and its velocity:
p = mv
p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.
Given values:
p = -80kg×m/s
m = 8kg
Plug in these values and solve for v:
-80 = 8v
v = -10m/s
Choice D
