The momentum of the ship is [tex]6.35\cdot 10^8 kg m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is a vector quantity equal to the product between the mass of the object and its velocity. Mathematically, it is given by
[tex]p=mv[/tex]
where
m is the mass of the object
v is its velocity
In this problem, the ship has:
[tex]m=6.9\cdot 10^7 kg[/tex] (mass)
[tex]v=33 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=9.2 m/s[/tex] (velocity of the ship)
Substituting into the equation, we find the magnitude of the ship's momentum:
[tex]p=(6.9\cdot 10^7)(9.2)=6.35\cdot 10^8 kg m/s[/tex]
