Consider the following statement, and explain whether or not it is sensible: It will take me light-years to complete this homework assignment

What will be an ideal response?


This statement does not make sense because it uses the term light-year as a length of time, rather than as a distance.

A rifle of slightly more mass, mr = 1.50 kg fires a bullet to the right, with speed 283 m/sec. The mass of the bullet is still mb = 0.025 kg. The size of the rifle's recoil momentum is _______ kg m/sec. Type in your answer to the nearest 0.1 kg m/sec of momentum. E.g., if your answer is 23.48 kg m/sec, then type in 23.5 for your answer.

i got 4.7 but that was wrong apparently.
