As part of an interview for a summer job with the Coast Guard, you are asked to help determine the search area for two sunken sh

ips by calculating their velocity just after they collided. According to the last radio transmission from the 40,000-ton luxury liner, the Hedonist, it was going due west at a speed of 20 knots in calm seas through a rare fog just before it was struck broadside by the 60,000-ton freighter, the Ironhorse, which was traveling north at 10 knots. The transmission also noted that when the freighter's bow pierced the hull of the liner, the two ships stuck together and sank together.

Answer:37^{\circ} North of west

Explanation:

Given

40,000-ton luxury line traveling 20 knots towards west and

60,000 ton freighter traveling towards North with 10 knots

suppose v is the common velocity after collision

conserving momentum in west direction

20\times 40,000=(20,000+60,000)v\cos \theta

suppose the final velocity makes \theta angle with x axis

v\cos \theta =10----1

Conserving Momentum in North direction

10\times 60,000=80,000\times v\sin\theta

v\sin \theta =\frac{15}{2}----2

divide 1 and 2

\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}

\theta =37^{\circ}

so search in the area 37^{\circ} North of west to find the ship

A racecar accelerates from rest at 6.5 m/s2 for 4.1 s. How fast will it be going at the end of that time?
Pie

Answer:

The final velocity of the car is 26.65 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the racecar, a = 6.5 m/s²

initial velocity of the car, u = 0

time of motion, t = 4.1 s

The final velocity of the car is given by;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

suvstitute the givens

v = 0 + (6.5)(4.1)

v = 26.65 m/s.

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 26.65 m/s.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Density of liquid = 4730 kg/m³

Atmospheric pressure on planet X = 8401.7 N/m²

Explanation:

Pressure, P = ρgh where ρ = density of liquid, g =9.8 m/s² and h = height of column at earth's surface = 2185 mm. Since P = atmospheric pressure, for mercury, P = ρ₁gh₁ where ρ₁ = 13.6 g/cm³ and h₁ = 760 mm

So, ρgh = ρ₁gh₁

ρ = ρ₁h₁/h = 13.6 g/cm³ × 760/2185 = 4.73 g/cm³ = 4730 kg/m³

The atmospheric pressure on planet X

P = ρg₁h₃     g₁ = g/4 and h₃ = 725 mm = 0.725 m

on planet X

P = ρg₁h₃ = (4730 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 0.725 m)/4 = 8401.7 N/m²
