Two 100 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car B at –10 m/s when t

hey collide head–on. If the resulting velocity of Car B after the collision is 8 m/s, what is the velocity of Car A after the collision?

Answer:

v_a = -10 m/s

so car A will move with speed 10 m/s in opposite direction

Explanation:

As we know that when two cars collide then the momentum of two cars will remains conserved

so here we have

P_i = P_f

mass of two cars = 100 kg

speed of car A = 8 m/s

speed of car B = - 10 m/s

after collision the speed of car B = +8 m/s

now by momentum conservation equation

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

so we have

100(8) + 100(-10) = 100(v_a) + 100(8)

so we have

v_a = -10 m/s

so car A will move with speed 10 m/s in opposite direction

How many ohms of resistance must be present in a circuit that has 240 volts and a current of 15 amps?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

16 ohms

Explanation:

V= I ⋅ R

where,  V  is the net potential difference in the circuit,  I  is the current in the circuit and  R  is the net resistance of the circuit.  

In this case,  V = 240  volts,  I = 15  amperes.

240 = 15 ⋅ R  

⇒ R = 240/ 15 = 16  ohms

How long can you keep string cheese in the fridge?
allsm [11]
Cheese attributes its sour taste because of its lactic acid content. However, this should not be an indication to whether the cheese is spoiling already. We can tell its expiry date through the manufacturing details of the product. The product should be good to consume before the manufacturing expiry date. Every package must include expiry date in order to inform the consumer about the range of its consumability attributes. In the case where molds are present on the cheese already, cheese on some parts may not be edible already. Molds are due to the oxidation of glucose through the action of specific bacteria.

Frictional force is caused by the interaction of a body with​
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Frictional force always acts parallel to two planes in contact with each other and in a direction opposite to that of relative motion of the two bodies. 2. Frictional forces are caused due to intermolecular interactions between the bodies.  Frictional force is more for rough surface and less for smooth surfaces.
