Two cars collide on the parkway. The drivers are following too closely and the driver in the front slows because of traffic to a

velocity of 20.0m/s and the driver behind is still moving at 30.0m/s, both cars traveling in the same direction in a rear end collision. If the cars are stuck together after the collision, how fast will they be traveling?

Answer:

The are moving with a speed of 25 m/s after the collision.

Explanation:

assuming the mass (m) of the cars are equal, let v = 20 m/s be the velocity of the driver in the front and u = 30 m/s be the velocity of the driver behind. let V be the velocity of the cars after the collision.

then, by conservation of linear momentum:

m×(v + u) = V×2×m

(v + u) = V×2

V = (v + u)/2

  = (20 + 30)/2

  = 25 m/s

Therefore, the are moving with a speed of 25 m/s after the collision.

After an incandescent lamp is turned on, the temperature of its filament rapidly increases from room temperature to its operatin
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: (1) The resistance increases and the current decreases.

Explanation:  

When the temperature of the filament increases, the vibrational energy of the constituent atoms increases which leads to increase in inter-atomic collision. Thus, the resistance would increase. The increases in resistance would obstruct the flow of charges more leading to decrease in the value of the current.

Hence, when the temperature of the filament increase, the resistance increases and current decreases.

WHAT DOES DENSITY HAVE TO DO WITH PLATE TECTONICS?<br> Explain
Korvikt [17]

Answer: The reason for the differences in density is the composition of rock in the plates. When two plates come in contact with each other through plate tectonics, scientists can use the density of the plates to predict what will happen. Whichever plate is more dense will sink, and the less dense plate will float over it.

Hope this helps ( not copied and pasted, this answer was done by me so I don't know if it's good or not)

Suppose you are walking in an airliner in flight. Use Newton’s third law to describe the effect of your walk on the motion on th
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The effect of your walking will create a force on the airline acting downwards, due to the weight. By Newton's thirds law the airline will exert an equal and opposite reaction force directed downwards.

Explanation:

The weight of all the passengers acts downwards on the floor of the Airplane.

The Airplane exerts an equal and opposite force on the passengers, with the help of its propulsion due to which the flight keeps on flying without falling down.

Hence by changing the frame of reference we can observe the force which is responsible for the reaction.
