Answer:

-35 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

Momentum before firing = momentum after firing

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

Before the bullet is fired, the bullet and rifle have no velocity, so u₁ and u₂ are 0.

0 = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

Given m₁ = 0.7 kg, v₁ = 350 m/s, and m₂ = 7 kg:

0 = (0.7 kg) (350 m/s) + (7 kg) v

v = -35 m/s

The rifle recoils at 35 m/s in the opposite direction.

mart [117]

According to the condensation theory, the most important factor for the formation of our planets was "the interstellar dust attracting heat away from the protosun".


Condensation is the procedure by which water particles noticeable all around bunch together and shape fluid water. This is regularly observed outwardly of cold glasses. This idea additionally identifies with the solar system.

The condensation theory of the solar system expresses that our solar system, and perhaps all other galaxies, were shaped from a cloud of residue and gas that consolidated into strong issue. Space experts trust that the littlest grains of residue in our cloud applied a draw on the gas about it, 'consolidating' into bigger and bigger bits of issue, similarly as a snowball moving downhill will become bigger and bigger. In the long run, the gravitational draw of these residue atoms was sufficiently solid that they started to pull in each other, developing into greater and greater clusters that had more grounded gravitational pulls. In the long run, these bunches of residue and gas from the cloud frame a star, and potentially planets, space rocks, and comets turning about the star.

Softa [21]

Answer:

Car 1

Explanation:

The steering column which moves the least is less likely to to the driver's chest ordinarily. Driver tends to remain in motion until restrained. Assuming a  seat belt not airbag

Generally one would compute a vector find direction and distance.  This is like solving for a hypotenuse  / in a right angled triangle problem. On face value the column moving the least is safer. The 6/24 would hit the upper chest, face, or possibly break the neck.

hence, car 1 moved 3 cm upward and 2 cm rearward is safer.

<span>The correct answer is C:Waves transfer energy, but not matter. A wave does not move matter in the direction of its propagation. It only transfers energy just like the ocean wave traveling many miles away with the water just moving up and down.</span>
