Measuring density: Measure the mass (in grams) of each mineral sample available to you. The mass of each sample is measured using a balance or electronic scale. Record mass on a chart.
This problem here is an example of inelastic collision where kinetic energy is not conserved but momentum is. We calculate as follows:
m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v3
v3 = m1v1 + m2v2 / m1 + m2
v3 = (30.2)(1000) + (5000)(0) / (30.2 + 5000)
v3 = 6.00 m/s
It would take about 4.8 years to travel from earth to Saturn.
<h3>How long would it take?</h3>
We know that speed is expressed as the ratio of distance to time. In this case, we are trying to know ow many years would it take to reach the planet Saturn travelling at 21 thousand miles per hour.
Given that;
Speed = 21 thousand miles per hour
time taken = ???
Distance = 887 million miles
Speed = distance/time
speed * time = distance
time = distance/speed
time = 8.87 * 10^8 miles/2.1 * 10^4 miles per hour
time = 4.22 * 10^4 hours
If 8.766 * 10^3 hours make 1 year
4.22 * 10^4 hours make 4.22 * 10^4 hours * 1 year/8.766 * 10^3
= 4.8 years
