The total momentum is unchanged according to the law of conservation of momentum. When the gun is fired, the bullet gains a high velocity forward (positive velocity), and that velocity multiplied by its mass is the momentum the bullet gains. Therefore, the gun must gain a momentum backwards to cancel out that momentum forward, so the gun recoils back with a negative velocity.
Solution:
Let the slope of the best fit line be represented by ''
and the slope of the worst fit line be represented by ''
Given that:
= 1.35 m/s
= 1.29 m/s
Then the uncertainity in the slope of the line is given by the formula:
(1)
Substituting values in eqn (1), we get
= 0.03 m/s
Answer: physical or mechanical weathering
Explanation:
Mechanical weathering which is also referred to as the physical weathering occurs when a rock is broken down into smaller pieces. In this case, there will be a physical change of the rock but its composition will not change.
Some examples include ice freezing and expansion of the cracks in the rock, Smstrong winds that carrycpieces of sand which then sandblast surfaces, moving water which causes abrasion etc.
