Momentum, p = m.v
m of the girl = 60.0 kg
m of the boat = 180 kg
v of the girl = 4.0 m/s
A) Momentum of the girl as she is diving:
p = m.v = 60.0 kg * 4.0 m/s = 24.0 N/s
B) momentum of the raft = - momentum of the girl = -24.0 N/s
C) speed of the raft
p = m.v ; v = p/m = 24.0N/s / 180 kg = -0.13 m/s [i.e. in the opposite direction of the girl's velocity]
Given: The number = 0.0069 that has to be expressed in scientific notation
Concept: When we express any number in scientific notation then we shall consider two points.
(i) If we shift the decimal point from left to right after first (non-zero) digit then we count the number of shifted place of decimal and write them in terms of the negative power of 10. For example, 0.004789 = 4.789 ×10⁻³
(ii) If we shift the decimal point from right to left after first (non-zero) digit from the left end then we count the number of shifted place and write then in terms of the positive power of 10. For example, 4789.24 = 4.78924 ×10⁺³ = 4.78924 ×10³ Now, we shall convert the given number 0.0069 in scientific notation
0.0069 = 6.9 ×10⁻³ because we have shifted the decimal from left to right for three places that is after digit 6.
Hence, the last option 6.9 ×10⁻³ will be the correct option.
The correct unit for the speed of light is [ m s⁻¹ ].
Time = (distance) / (speed)
Time = (9.3 x 10^7 miles) x (1609 m/mile) / (3 x 10^8 m/s) = 498.8 seconds .
That would be <em>8.31 minutes</em>.
Kangchenjunga (8,586 metres (28,169 ft)) was considered to be the highest mountain from 1838 until 1852. Mount Everest, 8,848 metres (29,029 ft). Established as highest in 1852 and officially confirmed in 1856.
