<h2>Answer</h2>

There will be two different possiblites as

May be one is in rest or other move

May be both will be in motion

<h2>Expalanation</h2>

According to Conservation Law of Momentum, when the two objects collide with each other, they transferred their kinetic energy to keep their momentum before or after collisions remain constant. In the present example, one moving car collides with another car which is at rest and has the same weight. There will be two possibilities after the collision as an elastic collision or perfect inelastic collision. In the elastic collision, the one car will adopt the rest position after the collision and transfer it K.E to make the rest car at the movable position. In the perfect inelastic collision, both cars will move after the collision.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

4.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

(v_f)^2 - (v_i)^2 = 2a * change in distance

(21)^2 - (0)^2 = 2a * 50

a = (21^2)/(2*50)

a = 4.41 m/s^2

When we throw an arrow by streching the string of a bow , how does the energy change take place ?​
lukranit [14]

when we throw an arrow , we first stretch the string of the bow. while stretching the string of the bow, the work done by us in stretching the bowstring gets stored as potential energy in the bow. This potential energy of the bow is transformed into kinetic energy when the bowstring is released and this gives the momentum and Kinetic energy to the arrow.

What frequency (in Hz) is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 116 km/h and emitting a steady 950 Hz so
Arte-miy333 [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler Effect, defined as the change in apparent frequency of a wave produced by the relative movement of the source with respect to its observer. Mathematically it can be written as

f_{obs} = f(\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})

Here,

f_s= Frequency of the source

v_w = Speed of the sound

v_s= Speed of source

Now the velocity we have that

v_s = 116km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

v_s = 32.22m/s

Then replacing our values,

f_{obs} = (950Hz) (\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-32.22m/s})

f_{obs} = 1047.86Hz

Therefore the frequency of the observer is 1047.86Hz
