On april 15, 1912, the luxury cruise liner titanic sank after running into an iceberg. what was the cruise liner’s speed when it collided with the iceberg if it had a mass of 4.23 x 108 kg ship and a momentum of 4.9 x 109 kg·m/s?

The cruise liner’s speed when it collided with the iceberg if it had a mass of 4.23 x 108 kg ship and a momentum of 4.9 x 109 kg·m/s is v= 11.584 m/s

Explanation:

Given :

The cruise liner’s speed when it collided with the iceberg has a

Mass (m) = 4.23 x 108 kg  and

Momentum (p) = 4.9 x 109 kg m/s

To calculate the momentum,

We need to use the formula of a momentum

Momentum = Mass x Velocity ( p = m v )

as we need to find the velocity the formula becomes

velocity = momentum / mass

v = p / m

= (4.9 x 109 kg m/s) / (4.23 x 108 kg)

v= 11.584 m/s

given data:

determine the horse power (h.p) = ?

force applied to move the box(f) = 10 pounds,

box lifted from a distance         (d) = 3 feet

time taken to lift                         (t) = 10 sec,

the horse power is defined as amount of work required to move a load. the horse power is equal to 550 foot-pound per second

                  1 h.p   = 550 foot-pound/second

it can also be defined as the the load that need to be move a body for certain distance in a certain amount of time.

mathematically,

                      h.p = (force × distance)/ time

                            = (10 × 3)/ 10

                            = 30/10

                            = 3 foot -pound/sec

hence, the horse power is needed to move the box is 3 foot-pound/second

important note: 1 h.p = 550 foot-pound/second = 746 watts

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
