What is the mass of a large ship that has a momentum of 1.60×109kg·m/s, when the ship is moving at a speed of 48.0 km/h? (b) Com

pare the ship’s momentum to the momentum of a 1100-kg artillery shell fired at a speed of 1200 m/s.

a) The mass of the ship is $1.2\cdot 10^8 kg$

b) The ship has a larger momentum than the shell

Explanation:

a)

The momentum of an object is given by:

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

For the ship in this problem, we have

$p=1.60\cdot 10^9 kg m/s$ is the momentum

$v=48.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=13.3 m/s$ is the velocity

Solving for m, we find the mass of the ship:

$m=\frac{p}{v}=\frac{1.60\cdot 10^9}{13.3}=1.2\cdot 10^8 kg$

b)

The momentum of the artillery shell is given by

$p=mv$

where

m is its mass

v is its velocity

For the shell in this problem,

m = 1100 kg

v = 1200 m/s

Substituting,

$p=(1100)(1200)=1.32\cdot 10^6 kg m/s$

So, we see that the ship has a larger momentum.

Recall specific heat of water is 4186 j/kg/C. Find the specific heat of sample.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Shown by explanation;

Explanation:

The heat of the sample = mass ×specific heat capacity of the sample × temperature change(∆T)

Assumption;I assume the mass of the samples are : 109g and 192g

∆T= 30.1-21=8.9°c.

The heat of the samples are for 109g are:

0.109 × 4186 × 8.9 =4060.84J

For 0.192g are;

∆T= 67-30.1-=36.9°c

0.192 × 4186×36.9=29656.97J

What is kinematics..???

swat32

Answer:

Kinematics is the study of motion, without any reference to the forces that cause the motion. It basically means studying how things are moving, not why they're moving. It includes concepts such as distance or displacement, speed or velocity, and acceleration, and it looks at how those values vary over time.

help me pass the test please there is a couple of questions in my profile to answer i am leaving this one for you to help

kompoz [17]

Answer:

0.5 m/s².

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 10 m/s

Time (t) = 20 s

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration can simply be defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

a = (v – u) / t

Where:

a is the acceleration.

v is the final velocity.

u is the initial velocity.

t is the time.

With the above formula, we can obtain the acceleration of the car as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 10 m/s

Time (t) = 20 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (10 – 0) / 20

a = 10/20

a = 0.5 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 0.5 m/s².

A beam of light traveling through a liquid (of index of refraction n1 = 1.47) is incident on a surface at an angle of θ1 = 59° w

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

(a) $n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}$

(b) $n_{2} = 1.349$

(c) $v_{1} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

(d) $v_{2} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Solution:

As per the question:

Refractive index of medium 1, $n_{1} = 1.47$

Angle of refraction for medium 1, $\theta_{1} = 59^{\circ}$

Angle of refraction for medium 2, $\theta_{1} = 69^{\circ}$

Now,

(a) The expression for the refractive index of medium 2 is given by using Snell's law:

$n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}$

where

$n_{2}$ = Refractive Index of medium 2

Now,

$n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}$

(b) The refractive index of medium 2 can be calculated by using the expression in part (a) as:

$n_{2} = \frac{1.47\times sin59^{\circ}}{sin69^{\circ}}$

$n_{2} = 1.349$

(c) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 1:

We know that:

$Refractive\ index,\ n = \frac{Speed\ of\ light\ in vacuum,\ c}{Speed\ of\ light\ in\ medium,\ v}$

Thus for medium 1

$n_{1} = \frac{c}{v_{1}$

$v_{1} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.47} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

(d) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 2:

For medium 2:

$n_{2} = \frac{c}{v_{2}$

$v_{2} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.349} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s$
