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.

An arch carries the thrust of weight to its _____(1)______. With a _____(2)______, the horizontal part of the structure supports
finlep [7]

Option D is correct. An arch carries the thrust of weight to its <u>sides </u>with a <u>post-and-lintel.</u>

<u></u>

<h3>What is an arch?</h3>

An arch is indeed a vertical curving construction that covers an elevated space that may or may not sustain the load above it or the pressure gradient against it

In the case of a horizontally arched, such as an embankment dam. While arches and vaults are often confused, A vault is defined as an ongoing arch forming a roof.

Option D satisfies the fill-in blanks option.

Hence option D is correct. An arch carries the thrust of weight to its <u>sides </u>with a <u>post-and-lintel.</u>

<u></u>

How can you tell if something has a lot of kinetic energy? How can you tell if something only has a little bit of kinetic energy
dezoksy [38]

Based on the equation KE = 1/2(m)(v^2), Kinetic Energy can be measured based on velocity. If an object has a large velocity, it have a larger kinetic energy than if the velocity is small.

Hope this helps.

If this decay has half-life of 2 years, how many years would it take for 10.8 g Protactinium-231 to remain given an initial mass
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Time = 6 years

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the no. of half life periods required to reduce the mass of Protactinium to the given value:

m' = \frac{m}{2^{n} } \\\\2^n = \frac{m}{m'}

where,

n = no. of half-life periods = ?

m = initial mass = 86.3 g

m' = remaining mass = 10.8 g

Therefore,

2^n = \frac{86.3\ g}{10.8\ g}\\\\2^n = 8\\2^n = 2^3

Since the bases are the same. Therefore equating powers:

n = 3

Now we calculate the time:

Time = (n)(Half-Life)\\Time =(3)(2\ years)

<u>Time = 6 years</u>
