Answer:

3 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

<em><u>Theory</u></em>

<u>The law of conservation of linear momentum</u>

The sum of linear momentum of a system under no external force remains constant.

In this scenario although different forces act on two spaceship by each other when we  consider the total system of two spaceship no external unbalance force act on them. So we can apply this law.

As law says,

The sum of linear momentum before collision = The sum of linear momentum after collision.

Momentum = mass × velocity.

So we get, 200×0 +200×6 = 400×v where v = velocity of the locked spaceships,

v = 3 ms⁻¹

he atomic radii of Li and O2- ions are 0.068 and 0.140 nm, respectively. (a) Calculate the force of attraction in newtons betwee
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

a

 F =  -1.07 *10^{-8} \  N

b

F_r  =  1.07 *10^{-8} \  N

Explanation:

Generally the force of attraction between this two irons is mathematically represented as

F =  \frac{k *  [Q_{Li}  ] * [Q_{O}  ]  }{ r^2}

Here k is known as the proportionality constant with value k = 2.31  *  10^ {-28} J \cdot m

substituting -2 for Q_{O} i.e the charge on oxygen , +1 for Q_{Li} i.e the charge on Lithium and [0.140 + 0.068 ] nm= 0.208 nm =  0.208*10^{-9} for r

So

F =  \frac{ 2.31  *  10^ {-28}*  +1   * -2   }{ ( 0.208*10^{-9} )^2   }

F =  -1.07 *10^{-8} \  N

Generally the force of repulsion will be the magnitude but different direction to the force o attraction

So Force of repulsionn is

F_r  =  1.07 *10^{-8} \  N

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°. Which of these statem
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

It is 52° below the celestial equator.

Explanation:

The declination is the angle in degrees measured north (+) or south (-) of the an imaginary line called the celestial equator.

The celestial equator is a projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere. imaginary

The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°.

Since the angle is negative, this shows that it is south or below the celestial equator and at 52° south of the celestial equator.

Thus, the star named Caponus is 52° below the celestial equator.
