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 directly northeast 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.To determine the search area, find the final velocity vector just after moment of collision.

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

The following calculation is made in order to find out the area and the final velocity vector.

Using the given information and the data in the question,  

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)  multiply with v

40000 multiply with ( -20i ) + 60000 multiply with ( 10j ) = 100000 multiply with v

  Therefore, v = -8i + 6j

That is  |v| = 10 knots towards the 36.86 degree north of the west

Why does the sky change colors at sunset?
KiRa [710]

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.

So in short, the answer is D.

A geologist sees a fault along which blocks of rock in the footwall have moved higher relative to blocks of rock in the hanging
Luda [366]

Answer: Normal fault

Explanation:

The type of fault that is explained above is a normal fault. We should note that normal faults typically takes place in a divergent boundary in a scenario where the crusts may have been pulled apart.

Since the crust is pulled apart in this case, it leads to the downward movement of the hanging wall which leads to the football being above the hanging wall.

Explain what an exoskeleton is and what it is made of.
sergey [27]
The bodies of arthropods are supported, not by internal bones, but by a hardened exoskeleton<span> made of </span>chitin<span>, a substance produced by many non-arthropods as well. In arthropods, the nonliving exoskeleton is like a form-fitting suit of armor. It is produced by the "skin" and then hardens into a protective outer-covering.</span>

5)Our weight on moon is less than it would be on Earth due to a difference of the strength of gravity on the moon. The moon's gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. ... This means that if you went to the moon you would weigh less, even though your mass stays the same

6)Physical changes are changes that do not alter the identity of a substance. Chemical changes are changes that occur when one substance is turned into another substance. Chemical changes are frequently harder to reverse than physical changes.

7)Try to be as accurate as possible with your measurements, and then subtract the former from the latter to find the mass of the object. This process is commonly referred to as "taring."

8) i think ductility but im not sure

9)If only the form of a substance changes, you have observed a physical change. A common physical change occurs when matter changes from one phase to another. When an ice cube melts for example, it becomes liquid water.

10)Oil floats on the surface because water is heavier than oil. Scientists say that water is more dense than oil. This is why the oil always stays in the top container.
