The final speed is 3 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two spaceships must be conserved. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

where

m_1 = m_2 = 300 kg is the mass of each spaceship

u_1 = 0 m/s is the initial velocity of spaceship 1

u_2 = 6 m/s is the initial velocity of spaceship 2

v is the combined velocity of the two spaceships after the collision

Solving for v, we find

v=\frac{m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(300)(6)}{300+300}=3 m/s

So, their final speed is 3 m/s.

The approximate orbital period of this star is 13 years.

<h3>What is Kepler's third law?</h3>

The square of a planet's period of revolution around the sun in an elliptical orbit is directly proportional to the cube of its semi-major axis, states Kepler's law of periods.

T² ∝ a³

The time it takes for one rotation to complete depends on how closely the planet orbits the sun. With the use of the equations for Newton's theories of motion and gravitation, Kepler's third law assumes a more comprehensive shape:

P² = 4π² /[G(M₁+ M₂)] × a³

where M₁ and M₂ are the two circling objects' respective masses in solar masses.

How do veins control the flow of blood
Alik [6]
Answer: Blood primarily moves in the veins by the rhythmic movement of smooth muscle in the vessel wall and by the action of the skeletal muscle as the body moves. Because most veins must move blood against the pull of gravity, blood is prevented from flowing backward in the veins by one-way valves.

Good luck !

Two large parallel metal plates are 1.2 cm apart and have charges of equal magnitude but opposite signs on their facing surfaces
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

E=1100V/m

                                                                     

Explanation:

Given           required           <u>solution</u>

V=6.6v         E=?                   V=Ed ;    V is the potential difference between                                                              

d=D/2=1.2cm/2=0.6cm=0.006m             the   halfway                  

                                                               E is the electric field between the two                                                                              

                                                                       plates.

                                                              d is the distance between the halfway.

So we can use the above formula to calculate the electric field.

    V=Ed   from this E=V/d  substitute the values from the given equation.

E=6.6v/0.006m

E= 1100 v/m
