A Navy vessel is traveling due north during wartime. A torpedo has been launched by an enemy directly toward the stern (rear) of

the vessel. Can the vessel outrun the torpedo if both continue in a straight line due north?
A) Yes, the Navy vessel is faster

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

C) Maybe, since both travel at the same speed

D) Maybe, based on the temperature of the water

Answer:

The correct option is;

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

Explanation:

The speed of some torpedoes can be as high as 370 km/h. The average speed of a fast Navy vessel is approximately 110 km/h

Therefore, the torpedoes travel approximately 3 times as fast as the (slower) Navy vessel, such that the torpedo covers three times the distance of the Navy vessel in the same time and therefore, if the Navy vessel and the torpedo continue in a straight line (in the same direction) due north the vessel can not outrun the torpedo

Therefore, no the Navy vessel travels slower than a torpedo.

What is the strength of an electric field that will put a force of<br> 1.28 x 10-15 N on a proton?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: E =  7,490.6 N/C

Explanation:

If we have a field E, and a particle with a charge q, the force that the particle experiences is:

F = E*q

In this case, we know that the force is:

F = 1.2*10^(-15) N

And we know that the particle is a proton, where the charge of a proton is:

q = 1.602*10^(-19) C

Then we can replace these two values in the equation to get:

1.2*10^(-15) N = E*1.602*10^(-19) C

We just need to isolate E.

(1.2*10^(-15) N)/(1.602*10^(-19) C) = E

7,490.6 N/C = E

That is the strength of the electric field.
