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
