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

1 kg ball rolls off a 33 m high cliff, and lands 23 m from the base of the cliff. Express the displacement and the gravitational
enyata [817]

Answer:

d = <23, 33, 0> m ,    F_W = <0, -9.8, 0> ,   W = -323.4 J

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using projectile launch ratios, for the x-axis the displacement is

         x = vox t

Y Axis  

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

It's displacement is

      d = x i ^ + y j ^ + z k ^

Substituting

      d = (23 i ^ + 33 j ^ + 0) m

Using your notation

   d = <23, 33, 0> m

The force of gravity is the weight of the body

         W = m g

        W = 1  9.8 = 9.8 N

In vector notation, in general the upward direction is positive

         W = (0 i ^  - 9.8 j ^ + 0K ^) N

         W = <0, -9.8, 0>

Work is defined

           W = F. dy

             W = F dy cos θ

In this case the force of gravity points downwards and the displacement points upwards, so the angle between the two is 180º

          Cos 180 = -1

           W = -F y

           W = - 9.8 (33-0)

           W = -323.4 J

How can you incorporate the information
il63 [147K]

Explanation:

There are many ways to achieve a healthier lifestyle and increase fitness. Healthy eating and constant exercise are essential for maintaining good physical and mental health. Through effective nutrition the human body is able to function better, there is an increase in disposition, improvement in immunity, improvement in blood rates, etc. Physical exercise, on the other hand, assists in strengthening muscles, controlling blood pressure, preventing cardiovascular disease, greater satisfaction, less stress, etc.

Some simple examples that can assist in improving health and fitness are:

  • Reduction of processed foods, sugars and soft drinks.
  • Increased fiber intake
  • Daily walks of at least 30 minutes
  • Increased water consumption
  • Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables
  • Incorporate meditation and yoga practices

PROJECTILE MOTION-Why isn't there any accelertion in the x direction while there is an acceleration of -g in the y direction? ..
Ahat [919]
There is no acceleration of g in the x direction because the gravitational acceleration points downward. Also, on most studies we ignore the tidal forces since we are dealing with small bodies compared to the size of the earth.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

How is frequency related to the sound we hear?
Leviafan [203]
Frequency is the vibration of noise and the vibration determines the pitch, which we depend on to be a pitch or frequency we can hear. If it's too high or too low our ears can't hear it

Barney walks at a velocity of 1.7 meters/second on an inclined plane, which has an angle of 18.5° with the ground. What is the h
Viktor [21]
The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides. 

<span>So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) </span>

<span>now plug in </span>
<span>x=1.7 m/s * cos(18.5)=1.597 m/s </span>
