A furlong is an old british unit of length equal to 0.125 mi, derived from the length of a furrow in an acre of ploughed land. a

fortnight is a unit of time corresponding to two weeks, or 14 days and nights. find the speed of light in mega furlongs per fortnight. (one mega furlongs equals a million furlongs.)

The speed of light is: c = 3x10^8 m/s <span>

or 

c = 186,000,000 miles/sec = 1.86x10^8 mi/s 

1 furlong = 0.125 mile 

1 fortnight = 2 weeks(7d/wk)(24h/d)(3600s/h) 
= 1209600s = 1.2096x10^6 s 

Therefore, 

c =1.86x10^8 mi/s(1furl/0.125mi)(1.2096x10^6s/fort) 

<span>c = 18x10^14 furlong/fortnight = 18x10^8 Mfurlong/fortnight</span></span>

a 45 kg ice skater initially skating at a velocity of 3 m/s speeds up to a velocity of 5 m/s. calculate the difference in the ma
ad-work [718]

Answer: 90 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum (linear momentum) p is given by the following equation:

p=m.V

Where:

m=45 kg is the mass of the skater

V is the velocity

In this situation the skater has two values of momentum:

Initial momentum: p_{1}=m.V_{1}

Final momentum: p_{2}=m.V_{2}

Where:

V_{1}=3 m/s

V_{1}=5 m/s

So, if we want to calculate the difference in the magnitude of the skater's momentum, we have to write the following equation(assuming the mass of the skater remains constant):

p=p_{2}-p_{1}=m.V_{2}-m.V_{1}

p=m(V_{2}-V_{1})

p=45 kg(5 m/s - 3 m/s)

Finally:

p=90 kgm/s
