Momemtum is defined as

P = m*v

m is the mass
v is the velocity 

14 knots = 14*(1.852) km/h = 25.928 km/h = 7.202 m/s


P = 
4.2 x 10^7 kg * 14 knot = 4.2 x 10^7 kg * 25.928 <span> km/h
</span>
P =  
4.2 x 10^7 kg *7.202 m/s = 302.493 kg*m/s

Answer:

3.02\cdot 10^8 kg m/s

Explanation:

- The mass of the Titanic is given by:

m=4.2\cdot 10^7 kg

- The velocity of the Titanic is given by:

v=14 kn \cdot (1.852)=25.93 km/h \cdot ( \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h})=7.2 m/s

- The momentum of the Titanic is given by the product between mass and velocity:

p=mv=(4.2\cdot 10^7 kg)(7.2 m/s)=3.02\cdot 10^8 kg m/s

If a wire lies withina magnetic field what must be true for the magnetic field to produce an electric current in the wire
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The magnetic field through the wire must be changing

Explanation:

According to Faraday's law, the induced emf, ε in a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux,Φ  through it. This is stated mathematically as ε = dΦ/dt.

Now for the wire, the magnetic flux through it is given by Φ = ABcosθ where A = cross-sectional area of wire, B = magnetic field and θ = angle between A and B.

So, dΦ/dt = dABcosθ/dt

Since A and B are constant,

dΦ/dt = ABdcosθ/dt = -(dθ/dt)ABsinθ

Since dθ/dt implies a change in the angle between A and B, since A is constant, it implies that B must be rotating.

So, <u>for an electric current (or voltage) to be produced in the wire, the magnetic field must be rotating or changing</u>.

Coming to the bottom of a mountain, a skier moving with speed v collides with a barrier and is brought to a stop in an amount of
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse of a force is measured by force x time or F X t

Impulse also equals change in momentum or

F x t = m v₂ - m v₁

The given case is as follows

in the first case

F x t = mv - o = mv

F = mv / t

in the second case

F₁ x 4 t = mv

F₁ = 1/4 x mv /t

F₁ = F / 4

option a) is correct .

iii )

In the last case

F₂ X t = m v/2 -0

F₂ = 1/2 x mv / t

= 1/2 x F

F₂ = F/2

Option e ) is correct.

Solve for x. 4(x+1)≤4x+3
alexdok [17]
4x + 4 < 4x + 3 (expand it)
4 < 3 (cancel 4x on both sides)
Since 4 < 3 is not true there is no solution.

What are the two opposing forces at work as fusion takes place in stars?
____ [38]

Answer;

1. strong nuclear force

2. electromagnetic force/ electric force

Explanation;

The more protons an element has, the harder it is to bring nuclei together. It takes more energy to trigger fusion in iron and other heavy elements. Lighter elements, such as helium and hydrogen, require less energy to bring about fusion. The sun, for instance, spends most of its life converting hydrogen into helium.

-The strong nuclear force  depends on; a more massive the object is the more attractive the force produced and also as distance between objects increases, attractive force decreases at a faster rate.

A car is traveling at a speed of 10m/s. A 0.5kg clump of mudis
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

speed of car v=10 m/s

mass of clump m=0.5 kg

Radius of car tire r=0.2 m

Since the tire is rotating about axle so a centripetal force is acting constantly on each particle towards the center of tire.

Centripetal force is given by

F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}

where m=mass\ of\ element

v=speed

r=distance\ from\ center

F_c=\frac{0.5\times 10^2}{0.2}

F_c=250\ N (inward)
