as soon as it leaves the barrel
You're driving down the highway and a bug spatters on your windshield. Which undergoes the greater change in momentum?
both the same
When a rifle is fired, it recoils so both the bullet and rifle are set in motion. The rifle and bullet ideally acquire equal
but opposite amounts of momentum.
A cannon recoils from firing a cannonball. The speed of the cannon's recoil is small because the
cannon has more mass than the ball.
What does "centripetal" mean?
center seeking
The power expended when a barbell is raised 2.0 m in 2 s is
dependent on the mass of the barbell.
The force that accelerates a rocket in outer space is exerted on the rocket by the

Which is NOT an element in developing expertise in a field?
Giving up
Is it possible to design a machine that has an efficiency greater than 100%?
No because a machine that has an efficiency greater than 100% outputs more energy than it uses, therefore, the machine creates additional energy. It violates the law of energy conservation.
How do you develop a growth mindset and embrace your mistakes?
Question what went wrong and fix the problem in a new strategy
If you are asked to provide a set of two or more numeric answers, separate them with commas. For example, to provide the year that Sputnik (the first satellite to be sent into orbit around the Earth) was launched and the year humans first walked on the Moon, you would enter 1957,1969 in the answer box. A rectangle has a length of 5.50 m and a width of 12.0 m. What are the perimeter and area of this rectangle?
35.0,66.0 m m , m^2
When entering large numbers in the answer box, you may decide whether or not to use commas. For example, you may enter either 1276400 or 1,276,400 for the number 1,276,400. Answer the following question by typing the numeric answer into the answer box. What is the sum of 9260 and 3240?
12500
A friend in your class tells you that she never uses hints when doing her Mastering homework. She says that she finds the hints helpful, but when the hint asks another question it increases the chance that her score on the problem will go down. She feels like it isn't worth the risk.You reassure her that there is nothing to fear about opening a hint that asks a question. Which of the following are good reasons for your friend not to worry?
Correct Answers Are: The only way to lose additional partial credit on a hint is by using the "Request Answer" button or entering incorrect answers. Leaving the question blank will not cost you any credit. Getting the correct answer to the question in a hint actually gives you some partial credit, even if you still can't answer the original question. As an incentive for thinking hard about the problem, your instructor may choose to apply a small hint penalty, but this penalty is the same whether the hint simply gives information or asks another question.
You have been working on an item for a while and after a few missteps you've come up with an answer. However, there is one particular thing that you're not 100% sure of. What should you do?
Correct Answers Are: Return to the question after you've spoken with an instructor or classmate. Submit your answer and then adjust it according to any feedback you receive. Check for any hints that address the part of the calculation you're unsure about.
What is the law of energy conservation?
In the absence of external work input or output, the energy of a system remains unchanged. Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Why is the word "yet" powerful in developing a growth mindset?
It encourages you to continue along your learning journey, as you have not yet reached the final destination.
What happens to the vertical component of its velocity as the ball rises?
The vertical component of the ball's velocity decreases.
How do people with a growth mindset view and respond to challenges?
They see challenges as opportunities to learn and push their abilities.
