Answer:

2000 kg m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is a vector quantity whose magnitude is given by

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

and its direction is the same as the velocity.

In this problem, we have:

- Spaceship 1 has

m = 200 kg (mass)

v = 0 m/s (zero velocity)

So its momentum is

p_1 =(200)(0)=0

- Spaceship 2 has

m = 200 kg (mass)

v = 10 m/s (velocity)

So its momentum is

p_2=(200)(10)=2000 kg m/s

Therefore, the combined momentum of the two spaceships is

p=p_1+p_2=0+2000=2000 kg m/s

Lemur [1.5K]

The answer would be E7. Galaxies categorized as E0 look to be nearly perfect, while those registered as E7 seem much extended than they are widespread. It is worth noting, though, that a galaxy's look is connected to how it lies on the sky when viewed from Earth. An E7 galaxy is very long and thin or the flattest of them all.

nlexa [21]

Answer:

a_c=1.44\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Centripetal Acceleration</u>

It's the acceleration that an object has when traveling on a circular path to take into consideration the constant change of velocity it must have in order to keep going in the circular path.

Being v the tangent speed, and r the radius of curvature of the circle, then the centripetal acceleration is given by

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

We can compute the value of v by using the distance and the time taken to travel:

\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{200\ m}{26.4\ s}

v=7.58\ m/s

Now we calculate the centripetal acceleration

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{7.58^2}{40}=1.44\ m/s^2

\boxed{a_c=1.44\ m/s^2}
