Answer:

a) 1.25e15 kg

b) 4.17e20 J

c) 44.55 years

Explanation:

To find the volume you need to multiply 218 km * 25 km * 250 m (be careful with units), so the volume is 1.3625e12 m^3, if you multiply this value by the density you will obtain the mass, that is 1.25e15 kg.

To find the energy needed to melt the ice, you use the latent heat, in this case, it is 3.34e5 J/kg. Now you multiply this value by the mass, so you need 4.17e20 J to melt the iceberg.

The surface area of the iceberg is 545e7 m^2, so the ice absorbs 594e9 W, one W is one J/s, so in 12 hours the iceberg absorbs 2.56e16 J, so in 365 days absorbs 9.36e18 J. Now you just divide 4.17e20 J by the amount f energy per year, and obtain 44.55 years.

Answer:

The velocity is $v = c* \sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{n^2} }$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

a = nb

The length of the minor axis of the symbol of the Federation, a circle, seen by the observer at velocity v must be equal to the minor axis(b) of the Empire's symbol, (an ellipse)

Now this length seen by the observer can be mathematically represented as

$h = t \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

Here t is the actual length of the major axis of of the Empire's symbol, (an ellipse)

So t = a = nb

and b is the length of the minor axis of the symbol of the Federation, (a circle) when seen by an observer at velocity v which from the question must be the length of the minor axis of the of the Empire's symbol, (an ellipse)

i.e h = b

So

$b = nb [\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } ]$
