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.

Why are light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature liimiting factors​
Harman [31]

Answer:

As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, so too does the rate of photosynthesis until a certain point where the graph levels off. At lower carbon dioxide concentrations carbon dioxide is the limiting factor because an increase in carbon dioxide causes an increase in photosynthesis.
