Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of the bullet will only be the same if the mass of the bullet is equal to the mass of the gun. This because only their momentum ( product of mass and velocity) is conserved; the momentum before the gun and pullet was fired is equal to the momentum of the recoil of the gun and the momentum of the released bullet. The smallest mass  receives the highest speed (the bullet) while the larger mass ( the gun) receives the lowest speed ( speed of recoil).

What happens when solar energy heats a body of water?
Nataliya [291]
Explanation: Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor (Dunn,1993).

As temperature increases, ________. Group of answer choices the resistance of a conductor remains the same the resistance of a c
amm1812

Answer:

resistance of a conductor increases

Explanation:

The resistance of conductors is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. This implies that when the temperature of the conductor is increased, the resistance of the conductor increases likewise.

This is applied in the resistance thermometer. Resistance thermometers are useful for accurate temperature measurements at very high or very low temperatures.
