The correct answer is B. The safety only prevents you from pulling the trigger, but does not stop the pin from striking the primer. For example, if you drop the firearm, the pin may hit the primer and fire the firearm. It is always responsible to keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction so that if this happens, no consequences come out of it.

BigorU [14]

CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

you stood on a planet having a mass four times that of earth mass and a radius two times of earth radius , you would weigh?

A) four times more than you do on Earth.

B) two times less than you do on Earth.

C) the same as you do on Earth

D) two times more than you do on Earth

Answer:

OPTION C is correct

The same as you do on Earth

Explanation :

According to law of gravitation :

F=GMm/R^2......(a)

F= mg.....(b)

M= mass of earth

m = mass of the person

R = radius of the earth

From law of motion

Put equation b into equation a

mg=GMm/R^2

g=GMm/R^2

g=GM/R^2

We know from question a planet having a mass four times that of earth mass and a radius two times of earth radius if we substitute we have

m= 4M

r=(2R)^2=4R^2

g= G4M/4R^2

Then, 4in the denominator will cancel out the numerator we have

g= GM/R^2

Therefore, g remain the same

The speed of a boat in still water is 20 mph. it travels from one pier to another with the current in 4 hours and back against t
saw5 [17]
The answer is, "the speed of the current is 5 miles per hour."

To calculate the speed of the current,
let's assume speed of current =  xmph. Time taken to travel from one pier to another with the current = 100/(20+x)h


But the time taken to travel from one pier to another with the current, which is given is = 4 hours. So,  4=100/(20+x) 80+4x = 100

4x = 20

x = 5 Thus, the speed of the current is 5 miles per hour.
