Answer:

C. both forces have the same magnitude

Explanation:

Here the action force is equal to the reaction force in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion.

Also when we apply the conservation of momentum so that the momentum bullet and the momentum of the gun are equal and according to the second law of motion by Newton, we have force equal to the rate of change in momentum.

We have the equation for momentum as:

p=m.v

Newton's second law is Mathematically given as:

F=\frac{dp}{dt}

Momentum is constant and the reaction time is equal, so the force exerted will also be equal.

If a crow flies west for 60 km and then south for 45 km, what is the direction of its displacement?
son4ous [18]
That's 105 km that he flew, or 65.2 miles !  I'm absolutely positive
that the crow must have landed and gotten some rest when you
weren't looking.  But that had no effect on his displacement when
he got where he was going, so we can continue to solve the problem:


The displacement is the distance and direction from the place
where the crow took off to the place where he landed.

-- It's distance is the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs
are 60 km and 45 km.

        D²  =  (60 km)²  +  (45 km)²

              =    3,600 km²  +  2,025 km²  =  5,625 km²

         D  =  √(5625 km²)  =  75 km .    
 
-- It's direction is the angle whose tangent is  (45 S / 60 W).

         tan⁻¹ (45/60)  =  tan⁻¹ (0.75)  =  36.9° south of west

                                                         =  53.1° west of south.

                                                         =  not exactly southwest but close.

What happens to ar object in free fall?​
Inessa05 [86]
Energy from the gravitational potential store in converted to kinetic energy. Air friction acts against the object, dissipating some energy as heat or sound. The object will continuously accelerate until the acceleration is equal to the air friction acting against it. This is when it reaches terminal velocity

In complete sentences describe the energy flow between the Sun, the Earth, and space
agasfer [191]
Answer: The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
Explanation:
The amount of incoming energy from the Sun decides the weather and climate of earth. If the energy that is incoming and outgoing on the earth, then climate is in equilibrium. The balance is depending on the scattering, absorption, reflection and transformation of energy.
The energy from sun passes through space and reaches the earth’s surface. On reaching surface, the solar energy warms the atmosphere releasing heat energy which gets transferred throughout the planets system by radiation, conduction and convection. Conduction happens in the atmosphere within first several millimeters close to the surface. This heated air expands as it is dense and rises causing transfer of heat to atmosphere through convection process. It results in formation of clouds.
The radiant energy from sun is transmitted via space in form of invisible waves. But much of the suns radiant energy, is transmitted back to atmosphere. The objects on earth like land, plants, animals absorb radiant energy as heat of which one third gets re-radiated back to atmosphere that is absorbed by carbon dioxide and water vapor. The atmosphere radiates heat energy back to earth increasing the earth temperature. This trapping of radiation is greenhouse effect.
The thermal energy obtained by convection currents are responsible for wind, cloud formation, and weather formation. The hydrosphere that comprises of 70% of earth’s surface absorbs solar energy.
On the basis of the above explanation is:
The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
