The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if there is no external force acting on the system. The total momentum in the gun bullet system is 0 so it must stay that way.

The momentum of the bullet is mv = 0.015*500=7.5
The momentum of the gun must be the same to keep the total momentum of the system equal to zero, so we know that p = 7.5 for the gun.
Substituting this in we get:

7.5=3.1x
x=7.5/3.1
x=2.42

So the speed of the gun is 2.4m/s.

     Let us consider the gun with the index 1 and bullet with the index 2. Using the Momentum consevation Equation, we have:

\Delta Q= 0 \\ m_{1}*v_{1}-m_{2}*v_{2}=0 \\ m_{1}*v_{1}=m_{2}*v_{2}
 
     Entering the unknown, comes:

m_{1}*v_{1}=m_{2}*v_{2} \\ 3.1*v_{1}=0.015*500 \\ v_{1}= \frac{7.5}{3.1} \\ \boxed {v_{1}=2.4m/s}

Number 2

Obs: approximate results.

If you notice any mistake in my english, please let me know, because i am not native.

A crow is flying horizontally with a constant speed of 2.70 m/s when it releases a clam from its beak. the clam lands on the roc
vovangra [49]

Part a)

in horizontal direction there is no gravity or no other acceleration

so in horizontal direction the speed of clam will remain same

v_x = 2.70 m/s

Part b)

In vertical direction we can use kinematics

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + 2.1 * 9.8

v_f = 20.6 m/s

part c)

if the speed of crow will be increased then the horizontal speed of the clam will also increase but there is no change in the vertical speed

Peer assessment is a unique educational model. Think back to how you felt about peer assessment at the beginning of the term, an
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

In the beginning, I was not familiar to assess assessments of the other students. Ifelt a little bit weird that is it possible to check assignments while having an instructor.I was also a bit frustrated, to be honest, that why do we have to assess thoseassessments. It was kind of extra burden for me. But after few weeks assessingmore assignments, my feeling had changed because I was learning lots of thingsthat were changing my perspectives. I was gaining extra knowledge from my peersin the form of assessments. Yes, I am comfortable with assessing assessments,because I got to learn many vocabularies and making structures of the sentencecorrectly by improving grammatically as I am not a native English speaker. Thus, inthis way, I was learning something new in each and every assessment.
