It makes no difference. The momentum of either car goes to zero in both cases.

A 2.0-kg ball rolls to the right at 3.0 m/s. A 4.0-kg ball rolls to the left at 2.0 m/s . What is the momentum of the system aft
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Final momentum after a head on collision is -2kgm/s

Explanation:

         One ball moves to the right and the other moves opposite  and momentum is a vector quantity so that considering the direction

Initial momenta are        P₁=2x3=6kgm/s        P₂=4x(-2)=-8kgm/s      

Final momentum is the vector sum of P(final)= 6-8= -2 kgm/s

If you lift the front wheel of a poorly maintained bicycle off the ground and then start it spinning at 0.69 rev/s , friction in
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

magnitude of the frictional torque is 0.11 Nm

Explanation:

Moment of inertia I = 0.33 kg⋅m2

Initial angular velocity w° = 0.69 rev/s = 2 x 3.142 x 0.69 = 4.34 rad/s

Final angular velocity w = 0 (since it stops)

Time t = 13 secs

Using w = w° + §t

Where § is angular acceleration

O = 4.34 + 13§

§ = -4.34/13 = -0.33 rad/s2

The negative sign implies it's a negative acceleration.

Frictional torque that brought it to rest must be equal to the original torque.

Torqu = I x §

T = 0.33 x 0.33 = 0.11 Nm

Is this statement true or false concerning squall line thunderstorm development? These often form ahead of the advancing front b
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: The following statement is true about squall line thunderstorm development: <em><u>These often form ahead of the advancing front but rarely behind it because lifting of warm, humid air and the generation of a squall line usually occur in the warm sector ahead of an advancing cold front. Behind a cold front, the air motions are usually downward, and the air is cooler and drier.</u></em>

<em>An upper-level wave, accountable for the fabrication of a squall line, extend in front of and backside a cold front, the air backside the front is cold, steady and settling while the air ahead of the front is hot and co-seismic.</em>

8. The ratio of output power to input power, in percent?A. work. B. efficiency. C. horsepower. D. conductivity.
Tema [17]
That ratio is the efficiency of whatever the power went into and came out of. There's no reason the efficiency has to be expressed as a percentage.
