I think this answer Yes, salt is the crystal we use to season our food. But in chemistry, salt is a term used to describe a compound made by joining a positively charged acid with a negatively charged base. Table salt is the compound sodium chloride. It's composed of a positively charged sodium atom and a negatively charged chloride atom.

adoni [48]

Question

What was the initial momentum of the bullet before collision?

Answer:

10 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is a product of velocity of an object in m/s and its mass in kgs hence numerically expressed as p=mv where p is momentum, v is velocity and m is mass. Substituting m for 0.2 kg and v for 50 m/s then p=0.2*50=10 kg.m/s

Setler [38]

Explanation:

Average acceleration is change in velocity over time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (22.0 m/s − (-25.0 m/s)) / 0.00350 s

a = 13,400 m/s²

What do we mean by the event horizon of a black hole?
TEA [102]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The event horizon is the surface of a black hole, it is the border of space-time in which the events on one side of it can not affect an observer on the other side.  

That is, at this border also called "point of no return", nothing can escape (not even light) and no event that occurs within it can be seen from outside.

Why might exposing astronauts to weightlessness be harmful?
love history [14]
The body doesn't have to work as hard when there's no gravity for it to work against, so it becomes accustomed to a much lower work load on every level. It leads to lower bone mass and weaker muscles, including the heart, leading to a drop in blood pressure that can eventually build up to create problems with cognitive function. After so long, minor accidents can lead to major, even life threatening problems. A simple bump that would do little more than leave a bruise on you and I can result in a broken femur bone or broken neck on an astronaut who has been exposed to a weightless environment for too long.

This is one of the several hurdles that must be overcome in order for a manned mission to Mars to succeed. Exposure to a weightless environment on the order of roughly two years for a manned Mars mission would be so degrading to the body that the rough, turbulent re-entry into Earth's atmosphere might prove to be too violent for an astronaut to survive.

The problem is bones.

On Earth, every time you do something with "impact" (like walking), there are microcracks in your bones. Calcium is used by the body to fix these cracks... and that is how the bones grow and become strong.

No weight = no impact = no cracks = no "repairs" being done by the body = the body gets rid of un-neede calcium and bones become brittle and weak.

There are some other operations in the body that require gravity as a "director", or resistance to movement as a driver of change (think of muscles in the legs, when there is no need to walk).

The organ themelves are (generally) OK since many things can work in any orientation.
