Answer:

It hits the coconut

Explanation:

The coconut fell immediately after the trigger was pulled as a result of the impact made by the bullet on the coconut. The Third Law of  motion states that : For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The action was performed when the bullet struck the coconut, while the coconut reacted by falling of the tree.

Can laws in science change
lorasvet [3.4K]
Laws reflect scientific knowledge that experiments have repeatedly verified (and never falsified). Their accuracy does not change when new theories are worked out, but rather the scope of application, since the equation (if any) representing the law does not change.

A ladder 7.60 m long leans against an exterior wall. If the ladder is inclined at an angle of 68.0° to the horizontal, what is t
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

2.85 m

Explanation:

From trigonometry,

Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Assuming, The wall, the ladder and the ladder forms a right angle triangle as shown in fig 1, in the diagram attached below.

cos∅ = a/H....................... Equation 1

Where ∅ = Angle the ladder makes with the horizontal, a = The horizontal distance from the bottom of the ladder to the wall, H = The length of the ladder.

make a the subject of the equation

a = cos∅(H)..................... Equation 1

Given: ∅ = 68 °, H = 7.6 m.

Substitute into equation 2

a = cos(68)×7.6

a = 0.375×7.6

a = 2.85 m.

Hence the horizontal distance from the bottom of the ladder to the wall = 2.85 m

Degeneracy pressure stops the crush of gravity in all the following except
quester [9]

Answer:

A very massive main- sequence star

Explanation:

Degeneracy pressure refers to pressure expend by dense material , which is composed of fermions, which is an example of electrons in a white dwarf star. According to Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two fermions can exist in the same quantum state, actually give details about the pressure.

When there is stellar masses that is less than about 1.44 of that of solar masses, there will be gravitational fall in the energy , and the energy will not be sufficient to produce the neutrons of a neutron star, therefore, the fall is abstruptly stopped through the electron degeneracy to form white dwarfs.this result to the creation of an effective pressure that further prevents gravitational fall.
