Answer:

Acceleration of the ship, a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both ships, m=39000\ metric\ tons=39\times 10^6\ kg

Distance between two ships, d = 110 m

The gravitational force between two ships is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m^2}{d^2}

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times \dfrac{(39\times 10^6\ kg)^2}{(110\ m)^2}

F = 8.38 N

Let a is the acceleration. Now, using second law of motion as :

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{8.38\ N}{39\times 10^6\ kg}

a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the other is 2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Airida [17]

The answer is A.

Acceleration means when you go faster in speed. Since the bicyclist is turning, he has to slow down but when he finishes turning, he is going to pedal harder and gain more speed. This is called Acceleration.

Best of Luck!

What happens to kinetic energy when you increase the mass?
Rus_ich [418]

Increasing mass increases kinetic energy. This can be seen in the equation KE = 1/2 (m) (v)^2
