Answer:

Their change in momentum is the same in magnitude and opposite in direction

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is defined as:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

Therefore, the change in momentum of an object is

\Delta p = m\Delta v

where \Delta v is the change in velocity.

During a collision, the force experienced by an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where \Delta t is the duration of the collision.

According to Newton's third law of motion, the force exerted by vehicle 1 on vehicle 2 during the collision is equal (and opposite) to the force exerted by vehicle 2 on vehicle 1, so

F_1=-F_2

Which means

\frac{\Delta p_1}{\Delta t}=-\frac{\Delta p_2}{\Delta t}

And since the duration of the collision is the same for the two vehicles, this becomes

\Delta p_1 =-\Delta p_2

Three resistors of 10.0 W, 20.0 W, and 25.0 W are connected in parallel across a 100-V battery. What is the equivalent resistanc
leva [86]
In a parallel connection, the equivalent resistance is the summation of the inverse of each individual resistances. It is mathematically expressed as 1/ Req = 1/10 +1/20 + 1/25 = 5.263 ohms. Also, the voltage across each resistor is equal to the input voltage, therefore I = 100 / 10 = 10 Amps. I hope this helped you.

When two notes are played simultaneously, creating a discordant sound, it is called _____.
mart [117]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Acoustic : A branch of physics which study the properties of sound.

Consonance: Combination of notes occurring simultaneously due to relationship between their respective frequencies.

Timbre: A characteristic of a musical note which makes it distinct from another wave which also have same pitch and intensity.

Dissonance :When combination of two notes are played simultaneously with lack of harmony in between them.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
