[PyMOL] Moving a duplicated object a given distance from the original object

Hello everyone,

I have a linear molecule (obj1)  which I have duplicated (obj2). I want to
move obj2 (which is currently 100% overlapped with obj1) with respect to
obj1 along the x axis by 10 nm. Can I achieve this by

translate [10,0,0] , obj2

I don't know what the distance units are in the vector used in translate
command.

Is there a much better way of achieving what I have described?

Best regards,

Sajeewa
