In Paul Hewitt's book, he poses this question: "If the forces that act on a bullet and the recoiling gun from which it is fired

are equal in magnitude, why do the bullet and gun have very different accelerations?" Think about Newton's Second Law (F = ma) and answer his question.

They have different accelerations because of their masses. According to Newton's Second Law, an objects acceleration is inversely proportional to its mass. Therefore the object with the larger mass, in this case the gun, will have a smaller acceleration. In the same way, the less massive object, being the bullet, will have a higher acceleration.

Explain what causes acid rain to form and its negative effects on living and nonliving things.
OLga [1]
What causes it to form: <span>Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as acid rain. Human activities, power plants, and exhaust from vehicles all are causes.</span>
Affects on living things-
Acid rain can kill trees
It can affect plant growth patterns
Toxins can kill animals
Nonliving things- 
It can decay building materials and paints
it breaks down rocks

a new car is advertised as having anti-noise technology. The manufacturer claims that inside the car any sound on negated. Evalu
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

I guess you mean that any sound coming from outside is negated, first, this would mean that you can not hear some signals that may help you to avoid accidents, so you do not want this technology.

Now, let's see if it is possible.

Suppose you have a soundwave approaching the car, the car needs to cancel the soundwaves as the soundwaves approach to the surface, to do it, you need to create another wave that is equal in amplitude, but with a change of phase of pi.

in order to do this, the car must be able to "analyze" the coming soundwave and instantly create another one to cancel it. Suppose that the sound is canceled. now if the sound changes, the car must be able to also change the sound that the car is producing, this instantaneous change is one of the problems.

Another problem is that, as you know, the sound propagates as spherical waves, this means that the wavefront of a wave produced far away will have a bigger radius than the soundwave produced by the car, then we never will have a situation where the wavefront is canceled: This means that we only can cancellate the sound in some areas of the car, and we still will have some sound in other parts of the car.

Another way to isolate the car is with isolating panels, those panels absorb the sound and transmit a very little amount of it (those panels are used in recording studios, for example). With enough of those you can cancel almost all the sound coming from the outside, but to do this you will need a big car because the amount of isolating material needed is a lot.  

We can conclude that the manufacturers claim is not correct.

Nebular hypothesis.

Explanation:

  • The first version of the nebula hypothesis was proposed by Immanuel Kant and Pierre Laplace.
  • Today the hypothesis has been revised to fit into more current and update realities about how our solar system emerged.
  • The hypothesis is the widely accepted explanation to the origin and evolution of the solar system.
  • It suggests that the star and the planets that makes up the solar system were products of a huge cloud of dust called the nebular.
  • The nebular is a huge mass of interstellar dusts.
  • The cloud collapsed and condensed under gravitational pull of the materials.
  • A center core that resulted in the formation of our star, sun emerged and the rest of the particles formed our planet.
