Answer:

the momentum of the system must be ZERO just before the bullet is shot

Explanation:

As we know that initially the bullet is inside the gun with stationary condition

So here we can say that gun and bullet was both at rest initially

so we have

P = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2

since both are at rest so we have

v_1 = v_2 = 0

so total momentum of the system will be

P = 0

So the momentum of the system must be ZERO just before the bullet is shot

The momentum before is zero because nothing is moving. Note that because momentum is a conserved vector, the total momentum after the shot is also zero. You just have to add the products of mass and velocity in opposite directions. So the answer is zero

Which of the following statements best describes chromatic aberration?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The answer is A/B, they're the same answer anyways.

Explanation:

Chromatic aberration is the result when the lens fail to focus all the colors on the same point. The light then focuses in different points,and could lead to causing two images at once. The main culprit of this is usually dispersion.
