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 does temperature,barometric pressure,humidity,wind speed and direction, and precipitation determine the weather in a particu
Deffense [45]
Temperature is how hot or cold something is,barometric is air pressure(when the pressures high,the weather is dry)humidity is how moist the air is and how many water particles are there, wind speed and direction is how the hot and cold air is moving and how fast,which makes wind (high to low, hot to cold) precipitation is how much it is raining at that point.

Trava [24]

Answer:

rotates faster

Explanation:

A huge rotating cloud of particles in space gravitate together to form an increasingly dense ball As it shrinks in size, the cloud rotates faster. Because Angular momentum is conserved, so when it shrinks the moment of inertia decreases, then angular speed must increase. So it rotates fast.
