You are in charge of a robotic spaceship (mass m.) that is exploring two close planets (X and Y). The distance between the center of planet X and the center of planet Y is 6s. The mass of planet Y
is four times larger than the mass of planet X (mx). Your spaceship is located at a point in between
the two planets such that the net gravitational force on the spaceship is equal to zero.
A. Is your spaceship closer to planet X, closer to planet Y, or exactly halfway in between?
You order your spaceship to move toward planet Y. Consider the system of the spaceship, planet
X, and planet Y
B. Does the gravitational potential energy of the system increase, decrease, or stay the same as
the spaceship moves toward planet Y?
Eventually, you order the spaceship to land on planet Y, which has a radius of s.
C. Determine the net gravitational force (magnitude and direction!) acting on the spaceship at
this point

Two red blood cells each have a mass of 9.0 multiply. gif 10-14 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. the repulsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. one cell carries −2.50 pc of charge and the other −3.10 pc, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 7.5 μm in diameter. (a) what speed would they need when very far away from each other to get close enough to just touch? assume that there is no viscous drag from any of the surrounding liquid. answer is: 321 m/s how do i find this (b) what is the maximum acceleration of the cells in part (a)? answer is: 1.38e+10 m/s2 how did they find this answer

Since the investigative question has two variables, you need to focus on each one separately. thinking only about the first part of the question, mass, what might be a hypothesis that would illustrate the relationship between mass and kinetic energy? use the format of "if…then…because…” when writing your hypothesis.

Need asap ! what is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure? (2 points) as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area decreases. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area remains constant. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases and decreases in an alternating pattern. 3. which of the following correctly describes a way in which earth's atmosphere interacts with the geosphere? (2 points) it contains gases that living organisms breathe. it contains gases that trap incoming solar radiation. it provides a medium for cycles that provide nutrients to living organisms. it provides a medium for water to move between earth's surface and the air. 4. which of the following is considered a drawback to using wind energy as a source of power? (2 points) wind energy is nonrenewable. wind energy produces large amounts of air pollution. 5. a meteorologist predicts that the weather in a region will soon change from clear skies to probable thunderstorms. prior to making this prediction, what did the meteorologist most likely observe on a barometer? (2 points) the barometer fell slightly. the barometer fell substantially. the barometer rose slightly. the barometer rose substantially. 6. which of the following do meteorologists not typically use weather balloons to record? (2 points) atmospheric pressure cloud types humidity temperature 7. during which step in the can crush lab did water vapor force air from the can? (2 points) the can was filled nearly to the top with water. the can was placed on the hot stove top burner for several minutes. the can was removed from the hot stove top burner. the can was placed upside-down in the water-filled pan.
