This incident was not unique. Fatalities from welding and hot work are often are associated with confined spaces and the areas adjacent to these confined spaces . The CSB has identified over 60 fatalities since 1990 due to explosions and fires from hot work activities on tanks, which are, of course, confined spaces.
moÂ·menÂ·ta (-tÉ) or moÂ·menÂ·tums. 1. Symbol p Physics A quantity used to measure the motion of a body, equal to the product of the body's mass and its velocity. Also called linear momentum. 2.
The velocity and density of everything just boggles my mind. Phone lines would catch fire from the velocity and ferocity of his words. The momentum of a particle is the vector obtained by multiplying the velocity by the mass m. Light-waves have a velocity of about 186,000 miles per second.
